Hatchet Falls Details

With water supplied by the Snow, Green, and Clover Mountains, this waterfall on Hatchet Creek is one of the more unique places to go swimming. Only 25-feet tall, the waterfall itself is not the most impressive. However, the cascading stream is split into two by a fallen tree that has been carved into a wooden staircase, making it easy for visitors to climb and jump into the pool.
