The trail begins at Three Forks, a popular dispersed recreation area in the southeast corner of the district. The trail begins on the north side of the road and starts as a relatively gradual hike alongside Long creek. There are three short ascents before reaching the blue blazed side trail to the falls at 1.1 miles. The hike follows the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail north to the side of the trail. This was a wonderful family hike! We did it with a 4 month baby in tow! (Although that was a lil rough!)
