To get to these falls, take the road to Cades Cove. On your left you will see a road that goes to the Tremont/Great Smoky Mountains Institute. Go 2 miles down that road then turn left, crossing the Middle Prong Little River. You can park at the Institute parking area. Hike about .2 miles past the cabins to a trailhead sign "Falls Trail". The first .2 mile of the trail is pretty steep with a lot of switchbacks. The remaining .4 is pretty easy. This waterfall is on pg38 in Waterfalls of Tennessee by Gregory Plumb.
