The Little Stony National Recreation Trail follows Little Stony Creek through a deep gorge in Scott County, passing a lower falls (a wide veil roughly 40 feet), a middle cascade, and an upper 25-foot drop. The yellow-blazed route is about 5.3 miles out-and-back along an old railroad bed.
At 40 ft, it stands above roughly 33% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Little Stony Creek. You'll find it in Scott, Virginia. It is protected within U.S. Forest Service (Jefferson National Forest).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 5.3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Dungannon, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
