Meigs Falls Details
It's easy to miss Meigs Falls even though it is a marked pulloff on the Little River Road auto tour and even visible from the road some months of the year. Look for the small parking area 13 miles west of Sugarland or 7 miles east of Townsend. Once you figure out where to park the rest is easy -- the falls are just 300 feet from the road. In fact, you can even see the 28-foot falls from the parking area without ever leaving your car.
