Hiking Upward (MyHikes): Steels Creek Falls hike

Beverly Hillbilly Falls, also called Screaming Right Hand Turn Falls, is a double-slide falls on Steels Creek in Pisgah National Forest. Start at the Steels Creek Trail and Mountains-to-Sea Trail gate on FR 496 and head east past the gate on the wide forest road track. At about mile 2.6, leave the trail and get into Steels Creek, walking upstream about 0.2 mile to a boulder field and 0.35 mile to the base of the falls. The source advises skipping the creek walk if you are not comfortable with it. No source gives the exact location of the falls, so check that you are at the double-slide falls described.
