Overview
Tom's Creek Falls is a spectacular 100-foot waterfall seven miles north of Marion in McDowell County. The trail to the base of the falls is an easy one mile hike. When you come to the fork in the trail, go left past the campsite to the base of the falls. The right fork will take you on a one mile trail up a moderately steep, slippery, rocky hill to the top of the falls.
