New River Gorge Waterfall Tour Stop 3:

As Wolf Creek flows to join the New River, a tributary cascades down the hillside crossing underneath the Kaymoor Trail. The falls is close enough to the trail that visitors can touch the water. Since this trail is on the side of the gorge, visitors are encouraged to be careful and keep a good distance from any steep dropoffs on the trail. During the autumn and winter seasons, the falls may be visible from the road. Hiking is required to reach this falls; Wolf Creek Falls is not accessible.
