While Baby Falls isn’t probably worth a special trip, it is located right by several main attractions in the area – Bald River Falls and the Cherohala Skyway. Like Bald River Falls, this waterfall is also a roadside waterfall and is quite pretty.
Baby Falls is located in the Unicoi Range of mountains near the Tennessee/North Carolina state line just down the road from Bald River Falls. The Tellico Plains region of the Cherokee National Forest has several waterfalls throughout the area.
Baby Falls is easily visible from the road. There is a pull off not far from Baby Falls. Just park in the pull off and walk the short distance to Baby Falls.
Driving to the Waterfall
Baby Falls is very easy to find. It is located on Tellico River Road (FS210). There is a turn off for Tellico River Road on the south side of the Cherohala Skyway. It is just east of Osterneck overlook, which was built on an old logging railroad bed, and winds closely along the shore of the Tellico River.
Pass the historic Tellico District Ranger Station, which built as a Civilian Conservation Corps project. Then make sure you visit Bald River Falls and then continue down the road about 0.5 miles to view Baby Falls.
