Moore Cove Falls
50-foot waterfall reached by an easy, about 0.7-mile (each way) trail off US 276, with an observation deck.
The Forest Service rates the trail easy, with three footbridge creek crossings and an observation deck facing a single 50-foot drop. Park on the paved right shoulder about a mile past Looking Glass Falls. The Forest Service page (updated January 2026) lists no trail closure. It warns against climbing above the falls or entering the slippery area behind the water.
