Middle Rockhouse Creek Falls is a small waterfall, under 10 feet, on Rockhouse Creek in the Pisgah Ranger District. Legacy NC Waterfalls (2014) says to drive half a mile back toward the Pisgah Center from Lower Rockhouse Creek Falls, turn left on gravel FR 475B, and go 1.5 miles; the falls is down on the left at a closed campsite, reached by a very steep path. It is partly visible from the road. A safe pull-off is hard to find; you may need to park farther along and walk back.
