Whirly Gigs1616 viewsThe top of Joe Mill Falls Upper, and a little time exposure with my handy dandy Panasonic FZ-30 brings out some whirlpools, both ab ove and below the falls.Oct 07, 2011

Clear Mountain Stream1660 viewsNothing like a clear mountain stream in early Fall, wish this was the case for Joe Mill Fall Upper.

To the photographers left is old tires, household trash and bed springs that made easy entry to the creek difficult.

Makes me think back to Iron Eyes Cody.

Lower Joe Mills-11599 viewsPark after fording the creek and proceed thru a nicely maintained approach to the falls.

A very clean place, let's keep it that way and maybe the owner wil lhave us back.

Joe Mills Cascades1560 viewsJust after fording Joe Mills Creek one can carefully descend into the creek without trespassing on private property on your left.

There you will find these cascades or, if you like, small falls.

Upper -51547 views A cowardly shot from the road. I had stopped by Clinch Mountain Winery on the way to this falls and got a bottle of HOUND DOG RED, after which, my courage kicked in and with my trusty ROAMING KNOB I jousted Upper Joe Mills falls. I would have made it to the bottom but, unfortunately ran out of Hound Dog Red.

Not true but, sounded good didn't it.
