The uppermost waterfall on Big Leatherwood Creek, Quarry Falls is a small 12-foot drop that stairsteps over a series of ledges. These ledges are evidence of this once being a quarry site, and drilled blasting holes can be seen in the rocks. Quarry Falls lies at the end of a faint 0.1-mile side path from the Pear Orchard Trail, heading upstream from the Big Leatherwood Creek crossing at Mary Steele Falls.
