From the Clark Creek Road trailhead, the path follows clear Sill Branch up a deep mountain cove, crossing the stream before a brief steep pitch to the falls. The 20-foot cascade and its pool make a popular family destination, with the strongest flow in spring and fall. Pack animals are not allowed.
