My cousin Ron introduced me to McLaughlin Falls a few years back. He was showing me the land owned by our great-great granfather in 1860 and the cellar hole of house. I could hear the falls and he guided me to the bottom. Wow! You feel as if you've left this world for a place where time stands still and the atmosphere is serene. It is worth the short hike.

One of those places where you forget about the rest of the world and its easy to access.Careful getting down to the lower falls.

McLaughlin Falls, which this site identifies as the Wheelerville Waterfall, is a 10 foot tall cascade into a pothole, followed by a short cascade that culminates in a 15 fool plunge into a pool. It is in a remote location, and is very photogenic.
