Middle Spivey Falls

Posted on August 20, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment

Nearby Areas: Erwin   State: Tennessee   Ease of Trail: Moderate

Middle Spivey Falls isn’t the easiest waterfall to find or photograph, but it is worth it. It is not crowded like many other waterfalls, in fact we were the only ones there so we had plenty of time to ourselves to absorb the beauty and tranquility. Middle Spivey Falls is best photographed early in the morning or on an overcast day.

Middle Spivey Falls can be reached by a path the includes wooden and stone steps most of the way. You can also reach the waterfall via a turnoff with enough room to park one car. It’s a pretty steep descent down to the base of the waterfall, but it can be done moving carefully.

There are several waterfalls in the area if you want to make a day trip of it. While in the area, I would recommend visiting Lower Spivey Falls and Big Creek Falls like we did. Lower Spivey Falls is on private property, but the owners allow viewing from behind a fence. Big Creek Falls is just a short distance away across the North Carolina state line.

Upper Spivey Falls

Directions

Take Interstate 26 and get off at exit 12/Temple Hill Road. Go south on U.S. 19W for 1.1 miles. Turn left, staying on 19W and go 4 miles to an undesignated turnoff on the right side of the road. Just past the turnoff is a driveway and a small sign noting the trailhead to the falls.
