Family Friendly The outing to admire the waterfalls is short, and the falls are a spectacular destination for all members of the family.

Overview

Cascade Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls (69') in Virginia and possibly on the entire East Coast. Little Stony Creek cascades over a vertical cliff in several different streams, making for an incredible display. The trail to the falls is a mellow one, although it will be mostly uphill on the way to the falls. That means that the descent back to the trailhead is a relaxing way to end your visit.
