About this place
Added by Elyse Clark
This is a gorgeous 60+ foot roadside waterfall close to the New River Gorge.
Since this waterfall is less than 200 feet from the parking lot, visiting this waterfall provides a huge reward for minimal physical effort. From the parking lot, cross the bridge over the stream and follow the trail on the right side of the stream/waterfall. To have the best view of the falls cross the stream (there are plenty of big rocks to do so). Early morning is optimal for long exposure photography.
