The trailhead is located at the end of Elk River road just off Highway 19E.  From Highway 19E, just before you cross into Tennessee, turn on Old Mill Rd.  Look for Elk River Road and take it till it ends.

<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
The trail is very well marked and easy to follow.  The trail passes by the top of the falls before encountering stairs that lead to the bottom.  The top section of the falls is unprotected and has been the source of numerous accidents and deaths.  Know and practice proper waterfall safety at this hike.
