Take VA-72 either from Dungannon or Coeburn. There is a gravel forest service road which winds around to the parking coordinates. Or hike up the three mile trail from Hanging Rock Recreation Area. (Note: The trail has some erosion issues to be addressed.)

The upper falls on Stony Creek pass under a foot bridge, then plunge over the ledge into a shallow pool. Locals commonly come here for a cold swim. Access from the parking lot is actually handicapped friendly to a viewing area. The bottom of the falls can be reached by stone steps.
