A series of small, photogenic cascades plunging through a forested sandstone gorge — great for intimate waterfall and foliage shots. Accessible by a short but steep trail with stairs from the Blackwater Falls Rd parking area (state park access). Best at sunrise or late afternoon for soft light, and in fall or after rains for strong flow; winter offers icy formations. Weekdays/early mornings reduce crowds.
