Roaring River

The Roaring River drainage is home to several major waterfalls. The only well known falls on the Roaring River is Parrywinkle Falls. This falls can be seen by hiking the Grouse Point Trail 517 down to the Roaring River, then bushwacking upstream a few hundred feet.  

Parrywinkle Falls - 21 ft

Tumala Falls - 250 ft

Formerly dubbed Tumala Cascades, our trip confirmed it was indeed a continuos waterfall from top to bottom, all bedrock. It's a great adventure getting down to it.

Plaza Creek

Plaza Creek has an abandoned trail that leads out of Twin Springs Campground. It roughly follows the scenic creek on the north side. It's still a decent bushwhack getting to the waterfalls.

Lower Plaza Creek Falls - 25 feet
