The Dismal Creek area is located in the Jefferson National Forest in the Pembroke/Blank, VA area. The best time to view the falls is winter to early summer. Peaceful, pretty, and easily accessed is the 15 ft. Dismal Falls.

Description: A short, easy hike along the Appalachian Trail that takes you to a small waterfall nestled between Brushy and Flat Top mountain. The hike in is nothing special except for the fact that you follow one of the new sections of the AT. (more…)
Cascade Falls in the Jefferson National forest – Pemrboke, VA
Posted by Chris | Filed under Roanoke/New River Valley, Southwest Virginia, Trail Information
While living in Southwest Virginia for 4 years, one of my favorite hikes was the short trip the Cascade Falls in Pembroke, outside of Blacksburg, VA. The park is just a short drive from Radford, Christiansburg, and Blacksburg. The hike, at a length of 4 miles round trip is fairly easy going but can get steep in parts, and the view of the Fall’s is good at any time of the year. Here are the full details on the trip.
