Reid Branch Falls

From US 64 near Lake Toxaway, drive south on NC 281 for about 3.6 to 3.7 miles, passing the Gorges State Park entrance, to Brewer Road on the left. Park in the wide paved area at the top of Brewer Road beside NC 281 or along the side of the road. Walk up the gated old logging road that starts at the turn. In 0.8 miles, a small path on the left leads down toward Reid Branch. It is just before the more obvious right-hand turn for High Falls. Follow the steep path down. Before reaching the creek, another path leads to a side view of the 20 foot falls. For a front view, the writer had to wade in the creek and push through rhododendron.
