Rock Creek South Branch (1)1901 viewsThis falls can be tricky to find. If you are going to the upper falls, above the foot bridge, keep watching for a downed tree that has been cut about waist level. Turn right just after the tree on the faint trail. Cross the creek and you should see an old brick fire pit. Keep going up the adjacent small creek. This is the South Branch, not the original creekk you started out on.

To find South Branch Falls continue less than 0.2 miles to the falls.

WEST OREBANK FALLS SUF003_1200x900.jpg
Orebank Falls West1906 viewsThe reason for the West falls is that a culvert separates East and West parts of the falls.

These falls border on an oldalbatross award for trash

Dry2592 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **2473 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **2513 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2505 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
