Really East Tennessee1299 viewsThis waterfall measures only 12 ft high. This web site qualifies any cascade above 8 ft as a waterfall.

With this in mind, this may be the most Eastern waterfall in Tennessee.

Why I Cry1261 viewsLook at the falls that follow, some look normal because of the camera angle, others can't be hid. If one is cleaned I would love to remove your falls from this "ugly" list.11111

Better Than Expected1356 viewsI expected to see a 60 ft falls but, measure this beauty at more than 100 ft.

Lasers don't really like the brush seen at the top of the falls here but, I got consistent marks at over 100 ft and a solid mark at 91 ft.

Need Rain1411 viewsI'll definitely return to this falls after wet weather. The Sun shines directly on the falls in the PM so, I'll also bring along my better camera for a smaller aperture.11111

Wilson Creek area1296 viewsOne of many falls located between Linville and Wilson Creek.

A no excuses cloudy, cool May day with BJ. A half mile moderate trail hike, except pretty steep off the main trail.

Turn Right And Plunge1289 viewsAfter leaving the upper falls the river enters a narrow, short gorge, turns right and plunges into the lower gorge.

Is it a rough hike? Just plain fun all the way down and back up, maybe moderate. Left my walker on top.
