40 feet

A tributary of Jones Creek unofficially known as the "Upper East Fork" drops over a series of small but picturesque waterfalls, just before its confluence with Jones Creek. Three distinct tiers of falls are found here, the middle one being the largest and most picturesque one at 15 feet high. The upper and lower tiers are 10 feet high each. The lower tier is becoming swallowed by rhododendron. Upper East Fork Falls can be reached with a short off-trail scramble down from Jones Creek Road (FR 77A).
