Cane Creek Falls is an 85-foot plunge in Fall Creek Falls State Park, beside 125-foot Rockhouse Falls, which shares its pool. From the Betty Dunn Nature Center, an overlook close to the parking area gives a partial view. For a better view, cross the suspension bridge above Cane Creek Cascades and walk up the trail toward Fall Creek Falls; Rockhouse Falls is visible from there too. The Cable Trail descends steeply into the gorge to the base of the falls, with a cable to hold.
