Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Reedy Cove Falls is a pretty twin waterfall resulting from Eastatoe Creek splitting somewhere upstream. The result is you have one branch plunging some 70ft or so with the remaining branch cascading the same height. With some more cascading sections where both creeks rejoin at the base, I’d imagine that this waterfall has about 100ft cumulative drop.

This waterfall seems to have many names for it. We’ve been referring to it as Reedy Cove Falls, but I’ve also seen it referred to as Twin Falls (self explanatory), Eastatoe Falls (as it sits in the Eastatoe Creek Gorge and is near the Eastatoe Community; pronounced “EAST-a-toh-ee”), and Rock Falls.

I understand that there was a newly-built trail that goes to the top of this waterfall, but we opted for the old method of doing the short 15-minute walk to lookout shelter with tables and benches. This path also passed by an old waterwheel with a sign next to it that said, “In Loving Memory of Buck Hinkle.”

Apparently, Buck Hinkle (formally Thomas Dover Hinkle) was a resident by the Eastatoe Community Rd, which we took on the way in.

The official trail ended at the lookout, where we ended up with views of the Twin Falls as you see on this page. We didn’t venture off the trail for closer views nor did we even entertain the steep and dangerous scramble to the top of the falls to bridge the two trails (besides, there’s a separate car park off Cleo Chapman Rd for that other one anyways).

Aside from finding the car park (see directions below), this was a pretty straightforward waterfall to visit for us.
