Tucked away just off Route 80 near Hayters Gap, the Falls of Logan Creek are a beautiful hidden gem that’s incredibly easy to access. The short trail—barely a quarter mile—leads you straight to the top of the falls, and the sound of rushing water greets you almost immediately. It’s a surprisingly impressive waterfall for such a quick walk from the road. We took a little time to explore the area and found a few steep paths that lead down to the base of the falls, which gave us a totally different perspective. It can get a bit muddy and slippery, so good shoes are a must if you plan to do more than just look from above. The surrounding forest and moss-covered rocks make it feel like a tucked-away mountain oasis. This spot is perfect for a quick nature break or a peaceful place to stretch your legs on a longer drive. It’s part of the Great Virginia Waterfall Trail, and while it may not be the biggest or most famous, it’s definitely one of the most charming.
