Upper Log Hollow Falls is a 30-foot waterfall on Log Hollow Branch in Pisgah National Forest. Walk past the gate on FS 5043 about half a mile to the second bridge, below Log Hollow Falls. Just beyond the bridge, a short path climbs to Log Hollow Falls, and another path continues a little over 0.1 miles up to the upper falls.
