Description
Wintergreen Falls begins off of Tarkiln Branch Road and is mostly flat doubletrack until the intersection with Sandy where the trail climbs steeply up to a viewing area of the Wintergreen Falls of Grassy Creek. This is a good spot to take a mid-hike break and cool off in the pools below the falls.
