For directions to the Waterfall on Tributary of Rockhouse Creek, please see the driving and hiking directions to Middle Falls on Rockhouse Creek. The hike to both falls is the same with the only difference being a left or a right when you get to the base of the scramble path down from FR475B. Make a left to get to the Waterfall on Tributary of Rockhouse Creek.

The waterfall is about 15 feet over two drops but the orientation and the vegetation make it impossible to photograph both drops in a single shot. You can however get a decent shot of the lower half from down here and a shot of the upper half from FR475B. When you’re walking to the scramble trail you will hear this waterfall down in the center of the hairpin turn.
