Looks like I'll need to go back again! The videos I got don't match up with the still photos I have.
11/25/2013 - since I'm off all this Thanksgiving weekend, I've been getting as many waterfall videos as I can. I can't quite match the videos I got with the still photos, guess I'll have to go back and do a better job!
The trail to Hemlock Falls starts at the end of a rough gravel road opposite Moccasin Creek State Park. The trail is just over a mile long and is an easy, uphill hike. At one point you cross the creek on a recently improved bridge. This is one of my favorites and I've been here several times in the last couple of years.
This falls is actually a side branch that is on the other side of the creek from the trail
This falls is immediately below the bridge across Moccasin Creek
The 4 following falls are one right after the other after you've climbed up from the bridge.
This is Hemlock Falls
unnamed falls on Moccasin Creek- this falls is upstream of Hemlock Falls. Hike above Hemlock Falls and immediately cross the creek, then hike uphill until you hit an unimproved trail. Most of this trail appears to be an old logging road, but it's not maintained and there a lot of blow-downs to negotiate. At one point there's a tangle of smaller blow-downs and it's tricky to get around them. Once you are at the falls - maybe a bit more than 1/2 mile - you will hear them, and there is a short, steep side trail down to the base.
