Rose River Falls
A quieter forest waterfall than Dark Hollow Falls. A 6.4 km loop also passes Dark Hollow Falls.
Rose River Falls starts at the Fishers Gap parking area (Mile 49.4). Walking the Rose River Loop covers about 6.4 km. Along the way you can see a waterfall about 20 meters high, along with several smaller cascades and deep pools. Far fewer visitors come here than to Dark Hollow Falls.
The loop can connect to the Dark Hollow Falls spur partway through, so you can see both waterfalls in one outing. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Parts of the trail cross the stream on stepping stones, which are slippery after rain.
