Introduction

Anderson Falls is a 14-foot drop where the bed of Fall Fork transitions from a harder to a softer kind of rock. Most visitors stick to the area around the falls, so if you venture onto the trails, you’re not likely to have much company.

Trails

Two loop trails, one inside the other, explore the wooded uplands on the stream=s far side. You will need to wade across to reach them, but the stream is often shallow. Though not prominently marked, the trails closely approach the stream bank near the falls. Markers along the trails identify the various plants found along their tread.

Facilities

Pit toilets.
