Copperas Creek Falls

Recent rains have got the streams and water­falls run­ning again, and with that I decid­ed it was time to revis­it one of my favorite region­al water­falls — Copperas Creek Falls in the Red River Gorge. 

Once a lit­tle-known gem, it has become a pop­u­lar hik­ing des­ti­na­tion. Although there is not an offi­cial trail to it, a well-worn path leads you to it. Be warned, there are a cou­ple dozen creek cross­ings, and almost the same num­ber of logs to step over on the way there and back. 

This water­fall has a small water­shed so unless it’s rained a lot there won’t be much more than a trick­le here.
