Hiking Directions
From the parking. Follow the old road down for 1.24 miles and go right at the fork (was flagged last time i was there.) Go another 0.5 mile, passing a 3 way intersection, you'll come to a T section. Go right going over a dirt mound and up the hill (also flagged.) In a little over 500 feet the trail will go left with another faint trail going right (lots of flags.) Take the faint trail downhill, continue down the faint trail for another 500+ feet and head left down the steep hill (flagged.) Follow the faint path down and head right to the sound of falling water. You'll come to a down tree on the path going to Bee Cove Falls #1 and Bee Cove Falls #2, there is a very faint path hidden behind the tree that has fallen (was flagged.) It is over 500 feet to the base of falls from here.
