A stair-step waterfall of roughly 10 to 15 feet on Comers Creek in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, Smyth County. The short blue-blazed Comers Creek Falls Trail descends through a rhododendron gorge and connects to the Appalachian Trail.
At 15 ft, it stands above roughly 7% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Comers Creek. You'll find it in Smyth, Virginia. It is protected within USFS - Mount Rogers National Recreation Area.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.6 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Marion, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Like most waterfalls, Comers Creek Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
