Hike Description:
Pick up the blue-blazed Comers Creek Falls Trail (#4576) that descends along Comers Creek. The trail ends in 1/4 miles at the Appalachian Trail. Turn right and go a short distance to where the AT crosses the creek. There used to be a bridge here, but it was washed out. Before the crossing, you can scramble up to the base for a good view of the falls.
Here's a video of the falls.
