Note: Pleasant Ridge County Park is a primarily used for mountain biking, but there is a short nature trail that goes to the falls, but at this time the Leroy Smith Nature Trail remains closed due to storm damage from Helene. This was as of 12-30-2024.

The trailhead: The trailhead for Pleasant Ridge Falls is in Pleasant Ridge County Park, which is off Highway 11 between US25 and US276. The nature trail parking area is in front of picnic shelter #1.

The hike: I will post the actual hike details once the trail is reopened since my route was from the other side of the creek and not the official route to the falls.
