Dismal Falls source component
Dismal Falls — original falls spur
Plan your visit.
Access & terrain
This listing covers daytime hiking on the original mapped component only. After-dark use, trailhead camping, and a parking-to-line approach are outside this listing. A verified route start and parking connection have not been established. Observe posted closures, trailhead restrictions, and parking signs. The retained Eastern Divide road-maintenance notice concerns Schoolhouse Hollow Road and Pocahontas near Blacksburg; it does not name FR201/Dismal Creek Road or Dismal Falls. That notice does not establish current access for every approach. This map is not an assurance that every section is currently open. Check current Forest Service notices before visiting. Displayed geometry is the provider’s WGS84 reprojection of the original NAD83 component; no connectors, snapping, or line edits were made.

This is a source component, not a complete hike, verified out-and-back, or parking-to-falls navigation route. No connector or return path has been drawn. The measured linework length does not establish the total distance of a visit. Running permission has not been verified.
