Little Stoney Falls

Posted February 28th, 2009 by Jeff.
A wintery shot of the upper falls of Little Stoney Falls, located in Dungannon, VA.

Here are driving directions, from Gate City, VA:
  • Turn onto VA 71 north (no sign here).
  • After one mile, turn left on VA 72 and proceed north (through Ft. Blackmore and
    Dungannon, Va.) for 22.1 miles.
  • Look for USFS sign, to USFS Hanging Rock Recreation Area (about 2.6 miles north of
    Dungannon, Va).
  • At extremely sharp switchback, go straight (left side of highway) into picnic area and
    park.

Abrams Falls

This is a really nice waterfall to visit, near Mendota, Virginia. I can't find a source to back me up on this, but I've heard its height is about 65 feet. It looks about that, to my untrained eye at least.

Red Fork Falls

Posted June 9th, 2007 by Jeff.
I visited the lovely Red Fork Falls in Unicoi, TN, near Erwin. It's amazing, and is about 80 feet in height.
Directions:

Use Google Maps, or use my better directions:

Take Interstate 26 to exit 32 (old exit 23). It's the Unicoi exit. If you're heading east (coming from Johnson City), take a left off the ramp. If traveling west (coming from NC), take a right. You will immediately come to a stop sign, where you will turn right. This is TN-173. You will drive about .7 miles, where you should see TN-107 on the left. Turn there. Go about 7.3 miles, where you will see a brown wildlife viewing area sign. Turn right on the immediately following paved road. Turn right at the fork shortly thereafter. Drive no more than a mile and you will see a small gravel area on the right, along with a tree painted with a red blaze. This is where you will park.

Take the trail straight ahead, cross two creeks, then follow the trail downstream to the right. There are 3 or 4 different parts to these falls, but the largest of which will come first. It's about a 10 minute hike from the parking area.
