  We enjoyed the visit. The walk up to the falls is pretty steep and a bit tiring for those who are from somewhere with zero hills. It was worth the climb though. Falls are pretty and offer many photo opps.

  The directions to the place takes you to the wrong address. My husband and I found out the hard way. We went to where the directions told us to go. (No signs saying how close or far you are from the Fall) We got out and started hiking up a STEEP MOUNTAIN we went about a mile and come to find out it was not the right place we need to drive farther down. We got back to the car and starting driving a little farther up and there was a gravel road, so we kept going, We found a car sitting on the side of rode and just so happen to look over to the right and a little tiny sign in the beginning of the trail said Fall Branch Falls. The trail is NOT for older, pregnant or overweight ppl very steep and rocks everywhere. We reached the fall and it wasn't nothing too look at just a little bit of water and super small. I was very disappointed...

  Very nice hike to the falls. Went there twice to shoot video and never saw anyone else on the trail. Very picturesque. Here is a video that I shot. http://vimeo.com/95203205

  As we arrived we were greeted by a large black and yellow butterfly that flew into the entrance of the trail. The trail is short but rocky and steep and also narrows often. There wasn't many people and the people that were there, we're very quiet so u could still enjoy the sound of the falls and nature. From the trail u can see two cabins and an old outhouse ( I have never seen a real one, pretty cool)! Keep going up and there is an observation deck that brings u very close to the falls and u can feel the cool breeze as u stand there taking photos! U can take the trail all the way up to the top of the falls but the view is mostly blocked by trees so unless u want to take a chance and climb down rocks and squeeze thru trees (it's like an obstacle course) I suggest u stick with the observation deck view ;)

  We stayed in Blue Ridge and since we love hiking we decided to visit Falls Branch Falls. Easy hike with great views!

  This waterfall is not too far (under 10 miles) from downtown Blue Ridge. It's not as grand as Amicalola but very nice and unspoiled. In February we only encountered a few other hikers going and coming. The hike (to and beyond the waterfall) was easy for an 8 year old, a short hike too.

  The drive to Fall Branch Falls was beautiful. The hike up to the Falls was a little steep but not very long. Quite, peaceful, serene, secluded.

  This is close to our vacation home and a great place to take friends. The scenery all over the Blue Ridge mountains is beautiful and this falls is just icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

  This is one of the easier waterfalls to access in the Blue Ridge area...about 10 miles down Aska Road; turn across from Toccoa River Restaurant then drive down a beautiful windy 2-lane for about 3 miles. Once you arrive where the pavement ends, there is a further hike to the falls which was beautiful but rocky and strenuous if you aren't in good shape (me!). Most will find the hike easy. When we went there wasn't a soul around...and the hike was definitely worth it. There is an observation deck and you can continue on to the top of the falls as well. The Benton McKaye trail is also accessible from here. So peaceful! Be sure to have your camera charged because you'll want lots of pics. Be aware there is zero to spotty cell phone service. Highly, highly recommended.

  The hike was almost all uphill and very difficult for older people. The "falls" was simply a large rock with some water trickling down. There was a very small dock to sit on. It was nice, but I don't need to see it again.
