Ripley Falls — Local services in Hart's Location

Wow 😲! Even with the drought, it's beautiful! Very tall! I wonder what this waterfall looks like when there isn't a drought? I was able to get to the top from a connecting trail. The trail to get to the falls is moderate to difficult, but, children and pets traversed it. The trail to get to the top 🔝, where there is another waterfall, is difficult with lots of (I am Groot) roots and narrow pathways. The top has an incredible view of the mountains. There are a few pools to sit in at the bottom, so you may want to bring a swimsuit. There is parking 🅿️ available at the entrance and by RT 302. Have $5 ready. Checks and cash are accepted, but not credit/debit cards. They do check vehicles. Bring good hiking 🥾 shoes, waterproof if possible. Bug 🐛🪲 repellent, water and and a pair of hiking poles would not hurt. They are working on the entrance and placing a new set of stairs. You have to cross a railroad track to get the trail. If you are disabled, have mobility or weight issues, I would not recommend this visit. It is a good trail for those who are wanting experience...

Just a 20 minute walk up up up a trail that leads you over a working set of historic train tracks. On a tiny portion of the famous Appalachian trail. (Which forks off to the right, you go left at the sign) up and over the side of a little nerve racking trails edge that has a bit of a scary drop if you don't like heights (that's me) and at one point ( with lack of signs) you might have a moment of doubt where you believe you might be going the wrong way when the sound of running water vanishes. But a little 7 minute hike up the trail will change that to a breath-taking site of a magical cascading water fall. Wicked amazing experience for a short hike off the highway. (Again, a brave one that makes you later feel proud you over came the fear you may have of heights)

We will be returning again this year with other people to share this wonderful experience!
