I may be the first person on the internets to have a picture of this waterfall. Quite a nice creekwalk contrary to what ONE NYFALLS.COM says about it ;)

At first glance I thought it was Wagener Glen. But I know that's not it. It's a nice falls wherever it is!

It's quite a delight. Can be viewed roadside via tiny, tiny pull-off, but very tree covered so shots are impossible. You can creek walk to the crest from the top, or, like we did, went down to the bottom and creek walked up to the base. Delightful little creek, really beautiful waterfall. Land is abandoned farmland from the tax data I can gather, unposted.

Okay, where is Groves Creek? You're making me look bad here--not knowing my own back yard. :lol: ;)

That little pull off used to be a popular parking place, from what I hear. ;) Not that I ever engaged in such activities. Great find! I never explored that creek.

There's a waterfall off the next road south of there as well.
