Naked Creek Falls is a series of cascades reached by an unofficial, off-trail bushwhacking descent from the Naked Creek Overlook at Skyline Drive mile 53.2 in Shenandoah National Park. The route is roughly 1.5 miles round trip and is recommended only for experienced hikers with route-finding skills.
Naked Creek Falls sits on Naked Creek. You'll find it in Page, Virginia. It is protected within National Park Service (Shenandoah National Park).
This is a backcountry waterfall: a remote, long, or permit-required trek for prepared visitors. Getting there takes a genuine backcountry effort, so come prepared with navigation, water, and enough daylight. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Stanley, 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.
