![]() ![]() We did this hike in the spring, so we only caught a few glimpses of the views of the river from above.Īt some point, the trail turns pretty rocky and heads back down the hill. You’ll go through some wooded terrain where there are some good views during the late fall and winter when the leaves are off the trees. You will miss the small little waterfall and the bluff formations though.Ĭontinue on the trail just across the road. If you’re pressed for time, or want to avoid the first 500-foot climb, then there is a parking space just up the road from here where you can park and start the trail. (A photo of me hiking through a stretch of the trail is just below.)Įventually, at about one mile into the hike, you’ll cross the very same road that you drove down onto Kyles landing. There is about a 500-foot elevation change on this stretch of the trail, but it passes through some pretty awesome rock formations that are well worth taking some time to explore and taking a few photos. When it’s not, there is a small waterfall with a small watering hole (pictured above) that is along the trail to the left.) You start out on the Old River Trail, but quickly turn left and head toward Erbie on the Buffalo River Trail.įrom this spot, the BRT heads upstream up Bear Creek, and then heads up the hill. Drive back to the very back of the campground, and the trailhead is right there. To find the trailhead, go all the way down to Kyles Landing, and turn left at the campground. So we started out along the Buffalo River Trail at Kyles Landing and headed out toward the falls. Michelle and I wanted to see the falls but also wanted to include a little hike. This is the route described in Tim Ernst’s waterfall book.) There is also a pull-out parking spot that allows for quick access off of the main road to Camp Orr. ![]() (Word is that the final bit of this road to the camp is VERY rough, so if you don’t have a four-wheel drive, this may not be the route for you. There are several ways to get to Triple Falls - there is a simple, short and flat route up from Camp Orr, a Boy Scout camp along the Buffalo River. The third waterfall, which is fed by a creek, may not be present during the dry season. This allows for water to flow year-round at this spectacular spot. (That is the reason for the alternate name “Twin Falls.”) The primary source is a fresh-water spring. The waterfall is fed by two water sources.
