Blue Hole Falls require a four-wheel drive vehicle to cross under normal conditions. To reach Blue Hole Falls requires a one-mile hike downhill via the High Shoals Trail.

A small observation deck overlooks the falls as they cascade into Blue Hole. Blue Hole reaches depths of more than ten feet, and is a common destination for swimmers, hikers, and campers during the summer months, when the creek temperature remains in the 40s Fahrenheit.
