Hike Directions: You’re going to have to hike the Upper Whitewater River downstream from the upper access off Heady Mountain Road. This is the second waterfall on the lower section of the river, just downstream from Bedrock Betty Falls. The jagged rock on the river left side of the falls lends character to this waterfall, as does the mountain laurel in bloom over the river right side. The large pool in front adds to the appeal. The hike to this point had been pretty benign but that was about to change as we moved further downstream. The nice trails at the upper end yielded to sporadic paths and river walking through the middle sections of the hike.
