A Virtual Tour of the Gorge at Buttermilk Falls State Park | ||

The most spectacular falls
are located a short distance below the point at which the waters of
Buttermilk Creek first begin tumbling downhill; near King Road. During
times of heavy rainfall, massive amounts of water surge over the steep
walls of the narrow gorge, greatly amplifying the volume of water already
in the creek. By the time they reach Pinnacle Rock (shown above, left) the
massive volume of water crashes over the faces of two broad, high ledges
for a breathtaking view. The high ledges downstream of the double falls (above, right) are often damp and drippy, except during
prolonged dry spells. |
