Lower Gold Mountain Falls occurs right next to the Old Mountain Loop Highway.  The creek tumbles a total of 35' in two tiers.  It begins with a short slide before turning 90 degrees and horsetailing down the rocky slope, widening as it falls.  Logs and brush block the bottom, but this is a fairly pretty waterfall.  If you happen to be in the area be sure to take a peek out the window at this waterfall and if you have more time scramble up to the other waterfalls further upstream.  

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Cougar Hollow Falls.  Continue along the road for another mile and a half until you see the waterfall right next to the road.
