Carpenter Fork Falls

 

Ronald David Parrott

 

Roadside parking is available right next to the top of the falls, but the falls can't be seen from the parking spot. A path from the parking spot leads to down to the view from the top. Two hundred and fifty feet north of the parking spot (where the shoulder gets narrow) one can scramble down to access the base of the falls. Four hundred and twenty five feet north of the parking spot is an alternate parking spot. From there one can walk over to the edge of the gorge for the only roadside view of the entire waterfall.
