About this spot
Tom's Falls sits near Toms Falls Road in the Bat Cave/Gerton area of Henderson County; the road is named for the falls, and nearby real-estate listings cite creek/waterfall frontage as an amenity, which corroborates the name independently of OpenStreetMap. However, the falls appear to sit within or adjacent to private residential parcels along that road, and no public trailhead, trip report, or swimming/jumping account was found. This is a distinct, unrelated waterfall from the well-known Toms Creek Falls near Marion (McDowell County), roughly 50 miles north. Treat public access as unconfirmed and likely private.
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.
