The Falls On Lost Creek

 

According to the American Rivers website, a waterfall has to be 5 feet tall to be considered a waterfall.  I didn't actually measure this one, but I suspect it might be too small to count.  There is however, a nice little plunge pool at the bottom, and a drop above this one that might, possibly, qualify as a "drop"..  But really, I don't much care about all of that.  I'll let the scientists decide whether or not this is "truly" a waterfall.

For me, it was a beautiful, easy, hike along a pretty creek, with a really nice little water feature that may or may not be a waterfall.  :-)

The "Falls" at Lost Creek are located about 3/4 of a mile from 235, not far from the Mount Pisgah Altare. There is plenty of parking on one side of the road - you then cross the road to enter the trail.

The trail is on Rod & Gun Club Property, but according to the description of a geocache hidden there, hikers are welcome WHEN IT IS NOT HUNTING SEASON, as long as they are respectful and do not litter.   Hiking is NOT permitted during hunting season.

It's a beautiful hike, with an easy to follow trail.  We ran into a few families enjoying the hike, while we were there.

There are several bridges along the way - the trail crosses the creek several times. 

 There are no steep climbs on this section of the trail, any elevation is gradual.

Like I said, these are probably too small to actually be called falls.  But it's a beautiful spot nonetheless.

The types of waterfalls are:

• Block: Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river.
• Cascade: Water descends a series of rock steps.
• Cataract: A large waterfall.
• Fan: Water spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock.
• Horsetail: Descending water maintains some contact with bedrock.
• Plunge: Water descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface.
• Punchbowl: Water descends in a constricted form, then spreads out in a wider pool.
• Segmented: Distinctly separate flows of water form as it descends.
• Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls.
• Multistep: A series of waterfalls one after another of roughly the same size each with its own sunken plunge pool.
