These falls are really easy to get to. To get to the trail head, go up Hwy 276 10.5 miles from the intersection of Hwy 64 and take a left on FR 475B. Go a little over a mile and a half on this gravel road to the 2nd hairpin turn to the left and look for a gate on the right - park without blocking the gate. There's a sign here put up by the forest service explaining why it's OK to harvest timber in the national forests.

Cross the gate and follow the trail through the open area. After about 5 minutes cross an old wooden bridge. Go another 5 minutes and Log Hollow Falls is on the right. The 20' falls is visible from the trail, cross the old wooden bridge and the side trail is on the right.

waterfall on Log Hollow Branch

On a trip down this trail in '03, I decided to see what was above Log Hollow Falls. Lo and behold - a nice 20-25 footer (next photo) not too far up with cascades inbetween! I pressed on farther and there were more cascades along the way. Most were hard to get a good shot of, but got one of the larger ones (2nd photo). The farther I got, the more fallen branches and timber were in the creek, but I got far enough up to hear vehicles on the Parkway.

Back down at the main trail, head past Log Hollow Falls for another 10 minutes and there's a 75-100 footer right next to the path! This one looks best after a good rain also.
