Kahuna Falls

Posted on October 7, 2016 Written by 1 Comment

Nearby Areas: Cherohala Skyway, Cherokee National Forest, Tellico Plains   State: Tennessee   Ease of Trail: Easy

Please note: Kahuna Falls and Bald River Falls are currently closed due to bridge repair. Completion is now scheduled for the middle/end of May 2025.

While visiting Bald River Falls you probably saw this waterfall and never even realized that it was a different waterfall. Until recently I didn’t know either. I had always thought it was part of Bald River Falls.

After viewing the amazing Bald River Falls, go to the upper end of the parking lot, where you will find a trail that leads up to the top of Bald River Falls. You can just see Kahuna Falls from the overlook, just above the top of Bald River Falls. Continue up the trail for a short distance and you will come to Kahuna Falls.

It is very busy on weekends and holidays. The best time to visit Bald River Falls and Kahuna Falls is on a weekday or early in the morning as parking in the Bald River Falls parking area is limited.
