From the parking. On the South end of the parking, head between the boulders and go 450+ft, you'll come to a campsite on your left, you may see the falls through the trees depending on the season. Head through the campsite towards the creek, keeping right a little coming to the confluence of Brasstown Creek and Little Brasstown Creek on the other side. You should see a brown Forestry Marker on the other side, cross the creek here heading towards the marker. Once across follow the trail for 200+ft to the base of the falls.
