About this spot
A real 60-ft waterfall in a mossy grotto (with a small cave) on Little Creek in the Deep Creek section of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Reached only via a difficult, unmaintained ~12-mile round trip bushwhack with no clear path; guides note it can be impassable when vegetation/deadfall blocks the route. No swimming or jumping culture documented anywhere — this reads as a waterfall-hunting destination, not a swim spot. GSMNP also bars rock jumping park-wide.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
