From Brevard drive east on US 64/US 276 to the split and stay left on US 276. Drive north about 8.3 miles to a large pullout on the creek side with a picnic table; NC Waterfalls places it 6.7 miles south of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Facing the creek, take the path that starts left of the farthest south of six boulders. At a short split, right goes to the easy view of the upper section. Left drops very steeply to the creek between the middle and lower sections; wade the creek to see the middle section. The lower section can be seen from its top, but reaching its base is a tough scramble. Waterfall Hero says this falls is also called Little Looking Glass Falls and Mystery Falls; NC Waterfalls calls it Looking Glass Creek F2.
