Piney Creek Falls is located inside Fall Creek Falls State Park. Piney Creek Falls is a pretty waterfall that is easily viewable from an overlook located just a few minutes away from the parking area. A short trail about 0.2 miles will take you to the overlook for Piney Creek Falls. There is some obstruction of the waterfall from trees surrounding it, but it is still very scenic and peaceful.
I wish the view from the overlook had not been obstructed as Piney Creek Falls is an unusually shaped waterfall and was quite interesting to look at.
There is another path nearby that you can take for a different view that crosses a suspension bridge, however the view is mostly blocked and not any better than the view from the overlook.
There used to be a five mile strenuous trail to take you to the base of the falls, however now there is a barricade blocking access the base of the falls. Over the past few years rescue crews have been sent in to rescue hikers who underestimated this hike causing them to close off this trail.
