60 feet

An imposing 60-foot waterfall, Lion Cove Falls lies on a tributary of Frogtown Creek in the next valley south of Lower DeSoto Falls. It's located between Miller Top and Cedar Mountain. Being high in the watershed, Lion Cove Falls is best seen in wet weather. There is no trail to this waterfall, and accessing it requires a significant cross-country bushwhack from Frogtown Creek.
