Hike Description:


Follow the short trail following Reedy Cove Creek upstream.  There used to be a little water wheel along the trail, but this was gone on my last visit.


The trail ends in about 0.3 miles at an overlook of the falls.  In highwater, there's a third stream of water coming down.  There was a lot of downfall all over the base on my last visit.


You can go past the overlook on the rocks, but use caution if they're wet.


Here's a video of the falls.
