Shady Falls

Waterfall Info: This waterfall is located at the mouth of Long Branch, dropping directly into a side cove of Blue Ridge Lake. The waterfall lies on posted private property and is surrounded by several houses. Shady Falls Road crosses Long Branch just upstream of the falls, but access by foot is strictly off-limits. However, there is one option for public access: the waterfall can be legally seen from the water, as long as you don't walk on land. The nearest boat/kayak put-in is at Lake Blue Ridge Recreation Area.
