On my way to get another falls, I went past the Enota Mountain Retreat...so I stopped to look for the falls at the entrance - Garrett Falls. It's not visible from the road, but if you stop in the pull-off and walk to the edge, the falls are easily visible across the picnic area.
7/25/2010 Went to the Enota Mountain Retreat to see their waterfalls. Their website says there are 4, but at the office they could only direct me to the 2 big ones. They charge a $10 day use fee, which is probably not too bad if you're actually going to stay all day, but I thought it a bit steep for just a quick trip to see the waterfalls.
Joel Creek Falls is accessed via a fairly short, but tough trail up above the trout pond behind the Visitors Center. I had to go carefully, as I was alone and there were some tricky spots to negotiate. But the falls are beautiful and well worth it.
Gurley Creek Falls is behind the Vistors Center and there is a distant view from a platform in the valley at the end of the cabins. There is a trail to the base of the falls, but it was steep and not in very good condition and I was not able to get to the base on this day.
