- Unmaintained but obvious path with one short steep section of roots and rock; boulders at the falls are slippery.
From the paved pullout on the right of NC 107, 4.4 miles south of US 64 in Cashiers and just past the Silver Run Falls trailhead, follow the obvious path upstream along Little Whitewater Creek. At a fork after a little over 0.1 miles keep right. Just before the falls climb down a short, steep section of roots and rock, then scramble onto the boulders for the best view of the 48-foot falls. Return the same way.
