Enjoy this 65 foot tall water fall away from the crowds and cars tucked away in a forest of Tennessee. There are several spots to stand to view the falls; just be careful making your way from the standard trail to the water's edge. Other trails merge at this viewpoint, making it possible to extend one's hike further or giving one the option to turn around and head back to the starting point.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Cherokee Mountain Forrest and with 65 foot one of the highest. Nice and easy trail walk up from Lake Ocoee via Clemmer Trail.
