This is a nice trail that loops around. Nice view of a small waterfall. However you must pay 5.00 to enter the park area. Highly suggest bringing cash and placing the pass in window. OTHERWISE YOU WILL ENJOY A 75.00 TICKET.

Be careful. GPS took me to a small parking lot at a trailhead that is not well marked. If you find ourself at a small lot... keep looking for a bigger lot with restrooms and paved parking. The trail from that parking lot to the falls is well marked The falls is beautiful and when I went in early April there were very few people on the trail and none at the falls. Definitely worth the trip.

This is a nice moderately difficult trail. We hiked in with our dog. We were camping nearby. The falls are awesome. Too bad you cannot swim under. Not enough water.

Went on a saturday in august and it wasnt too crowded. I did the loop counter clockwise leaving the best for last. Not a hard trail at all and it was about 4 miles total.

My favorite way to go is from the Flat Mountain Side. You drive up Flat Mountain Rd, GPS coordinates for this trailhead is 35.086076,-83.217766. Alternatively you can start from the Cliffside Recreation Area.
