Itinerary description
Beautiful ride to a gorgeous hidden waterfall on the Long Branch Creek.
From NCOBS CR Base Camp turn left at the gate, follow 471 to Gloucester Gap and turn right to 475. Follow to gate on 475D. Go past gate and into Cementery Loop trail (yellow blazes). At intersection, turn left to Long Branch trail (orange blazes, harder trail). At next intersection turn left on 5095 Searcy Creek Rd (unimproved road). Follow road to waterfall (hidden but can see lowest part from road and waterfall is clearly audible). There is a steep foot trail leading to a nice lunch site in the middle of the waterfall.
Came back the same way but turned left on intersection with Cementery Loop Trail to stay on Long Branch trail an exit the loop on 475.
