Chairway Falls is the upper of three sizable waterfalls found along a low-flow tributary of Frogtown Creek, flowing from the south side of Miller Top. The stream resembles a drop through a chair at this 18-foot waterfall, hence the name. It can be accessed via an off-trail bushwhack from the end of FR 34C, following a 1.5-mile hike from the gate at the Dicks Creek Falls parking area. This waterfall is best seen in wet weather.
