Coker Creek Falls is a series of cascades, single drops and pools on Coker Creek in the Cherokee National Forest. The Forest Service directions end at a trailhead at the end of Forest Road 2138. A visitor account describes the trail sign a short way down the trail from the parking area, then cascades and falls one after another downstream, with a spur trail closer to the stream. This listing sits about 110 m from the trailhead and appears to mark one drop in this series; which drop it marks is not confirmed. Return the same way.
