Catch Picklesimer Rock House Falls after (or during) a good rain and you will be treated to a beautiful display as the water cascades over the sixty foot cliff and disappears into the rhododendron in the creek below. A rock house is an open cave with a high roof, which allows you to walk behind the veil of this waterfall easily.

Turn right onto Blue Valley Road, and follow the road about 3.6 miles to a “T” intersection with national forest information signs. Turn left. The trail is the next right (0.6 mile) after the intersection. At the trail, which is an old roadbed, park off Blue Valley Road on the left.
