Directions:

From Brevard, head west on US-64 for about 10 miles. Near Rosman, turn right on NC-215. Drive for 10.5 miles and turn right on Forest Service Road 140. Drive 3 miles on the gravel road to a bridge over Courthouse Creek. There is a pull-off on the right immediately after the bridge.

Hike Description:

Hike towards the bridge and pick up the Summey Cove Trail (#129)/Courthouse Falls Trail (#130) on the west side of the creek. The combined trail is blazed blue and orange. In about a quarter-mile, you'll be able to hear the waterfall to the right and shortly after that the trails split. Summey Cove Trail (blue blaze) goes right and Courthouse Falls Trail (orange blaze) turns sharply left to go to Courthouse Falls. Go straight and bushwhack down to the creek below. There's a decent path so its pretty easy to follow but rather steep. It comes out at the base of the falls. I had to wade to the other side to get a decent picture.
