Absolutely beautiful. Worth the time to walk up to Grotto Falls and as you drive back down it’s just gorgeous all the way down the mountain

Beautiful place to visit. Roaring fork motor trail, you'll find fantastic views of waterfalls and streams. Very picturesque place to go to. Many trails to discover and wildlife to.

The place is located on a motor trail. It's a little bit scary to drive here on the one lane road along the mountains with a cliff on the other side. But it's a beautiful road. We were here for a long weekend Thanksgiving, and the most trees lost their lives. Still, it was stunning views. We saw the family of bears: mother and two cubs. So, be mindful. Bears are not only on the pictures or decorations. They definitely exist.

Cool spot. Make sure to climb down the path on the right side of the road.

We really enjoyed this stop at the end of the Roaring Fork Motor Trail; it was neat to see many mini waterfalls coming down the mountain into a small pool, very unique. The leaves really added great features.

Roaring Fork road hasany a gem. This hour long journey worth every minute to enjoy fall scene-scapes. It is a one way road landing to a private mill with shop and facilities. The waterfall is a brief viewing from a pull off all of a few feet from the road. It is water flow dependent for its grandeur. It is among many tranquil findinga on the trail road.

It is a serene and enchanting waterfall hidden along the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. True to its name, it features a delicate cascade of water trickling over moss-covered rocks, especially beautiful after rain. While it’s small compared to larger waterfalls, its charm lies in the peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. It’s easily accessible by car, making it a quick yet rewarding stop for nature lovers and photographers alike. Not a dramatic waterfall, but a quiet gem worth experiencing.
