Beautiful
I love this place. Unlike Bald River Falls there’s very little traffic or people. Nice place to bring lunch and your dog in hot humid August! Be careful walking. I broke my wrist soon after coming out of this fall ouch! This photo was taken in 2015. RIP Cowboy!

Great hiking adventure
The hiking to the falls was about 30 minutes and it was relatively easy if you are in good health conditions and can handle a few hikes up rocks and over tree roots and branches. The falls were beautiful and the water clear and very cold. We had a blast in the water and then hiked back to the car. Once you are back in your car, If you have a Jeep or a similar high car you can take the alternative exit instead of returning through the same road you drove in and have a super exiting adventure through rough roads and several creeks... but do not go that way with a regular car or you’ll be sorry.

Nice little waterfall, the drive in is quite a trip
We were driving through and saw the sign that said "Falls 3 miles" so decided to check it out. For the love of god please know that the road going to the falls seems ok at first, but just keeps getting worse and worse. As a flatlander I was terrified. At one point the road was mostly washed out, but there was no place to turn back and I sure as hell wasn't going to back up through switchbacks, so I gunned it over the washout and was thankful I didn't pop any tires. At one point the road leans. Your uphill tires are up and your downhill tires are down and you feel like you are going to tip over and plummet to your death. Blind corners, one lane road. Poor signage (turn right at the intersection). Small parking lot where people have no regard for conserving space. The walk was something else. I quite enjoyed it but did not know to take some water. Kids made it better than the adults. Just keep in mind that once you go in, it is all uphill on the way out. Make sure you are in adequate health before you attempt this. The waterfalls are nice. When you think you are at the falls, you really aren't. Go around the tree and the path continues. You haven't made it until you are at the rock steps. 4* because it was an adventure and I survived. Though while at the falls, I thought to myself, "at least I got to see a nice waterfall before dying on the drive back down" I did not die. I will not be returning though.
