A rugged descent reaches the base from the signed US 70 natural-area parking. The longer Black Mountain route is a different approach.

Plan your visit

From the US 70 parking-area kiosk, take the path right, parallel to the highway for about 200 feet, then descend into the gorge to the bottom of the falls. Return to the same parking area.

The conservancy’s 200 feet is only the initial path beside US 70. TDEC describes a 0.75-mile trail continuing to Renfro Creek with backtracking; that is not a stated waterfall-only return distance.
