This tributary of Matthews Creek gets its name from the illegal activity carried on at the falls. Old moonshining barrels remain in a cave behind the upper section.  This waterfall plunges like a veil 40 feet over a dark granite cliff, strikes a ledge, turns 90 degrees and plunges into a pool.  A great view is from behind the upper section of the falls. The 3-mile hike to the falls begins at Asbury Hills Camp.  The trail is open to the public but when camp is in session (June 1 through the first week of August) the trail can be crowded with campers.  Please call the camp for permission:864-836-3711.
