Better Than Expected2309 viewsI expected to see a 60 ft falls but, measure this beauty at more than 100 ft.

Lasers don't really like the brush seen at the top of the falls here but, I got consistent marks at over 100 ft and a solid mark at 91 ft.

Need Rain2414 viewsI'll definitely return to this falls after wet weather. The Sun shines directly on the falls in the PM so, I'll also bring along my better camera for a smaller aperture.11111

Turn Right And Plunge2250 viewsAfter leaving the upper falls the river enters a narrow, short gorge, turns right and plunges into the lower gorge.

Is it a rough hike? Just plain fun all the way down and back up, maybe moderate. Left my walker on top.

Welcome To Tennesse2282 viewsIf you happen to be traveling North on I-26 and have just entered Tennessee, stop at the very first Rest Stop and Welcome center. Just across the Interstate is Clear Branch Falls.

Go under I-26 and turn right at the stop sign. Proceed past the Church and as you descend down the hill keep a lookout on your left. Just past the last house is Clear Branch Falls (upper). After that keep an eye out and you will see Clear Branch Falls (lower)
