Mohawk
Falls occurs on an unnamed creek along Miller River Road. The falls
begin with several small steps before plunging about 50' onto the rock below. From there it slips and slides another 30
vertical feet in what could probably be used as a natural water slide if
there was a pool at the end to drop into. The journey into the falls
is pleasant, passing some large trees on the way. There were also an
abundance of wildflowers of various kinds. This could be a great
little hike with the kids, taking a picnic and sitting on the rocks around
the falls to eat. The Mohawk Mine is in the area, but I didn't poke
around to look for the entrance on my trip in. It's apparently still
an active mine so respect the owner's property.
