A natural, roughly 30-foot waterfall in the Roaring Run Furnace Day Use Area of Jefferson National Forest, northwest of Eagle Rock in Botetourt County. A short loop using the Streamside and Woodland trails passes a historic iron furnace on the way to the falls.
At 30 ft, it stands above roughly 24% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Roaring Run. You'll find it in Botetourt, Virginia. It is protected within USFS - Jefferson National Forest (Roaring Run Furnace Day Use 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 1.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Eagle Rock, 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.
