History

The falls are located near an area called "Tory's Den", a cave that was purportedly used by Tories during the American Revolution.

Visiting the Falls

The falls are open to the public and are accessible beginning at a parking area on the side of Charley Young Road. Visitors may take a moderate-difficulty 300 yard (275m) trail to the falls. It is difficult to see the entire falls from any one location, and the water source occasionally dries up to a trickle.
