Hi there!
So Cane Creek Twin Falls is a set of small little waterfalls that you can see with a stop on the day you drive the Little River Road in the Smoky Mountains.
I saw Cane Creek Twin Falls in September. What the weather will be like from year to year can vary (which means the colors can vary!), but this is what it was like for me!
And at least, the part you can more easily see is what appears to be smaller waterfalls.
These are waterfalls that flow into Little River.
Planning a visit to see Cane Creek Twin Falls
If you’re staying in Gatlinburg, then a perfect time to stop to see Cane Creek Twin Falls will be on the day you drive from Gatlinburg to Cades Cove.
Cane Creek Twin Falls is about half way between Gatlinburg and Cades Cove.

If you’re not planning on going to Cades Cove, then you can make a separate trip to drive along the scenic Little River Road and stop to see the waterfalls then.
Gatlinburg to Cane Creek Twin Falls is around a 35 minute drive.

Finding Cane Creek Twin Falls along Little River Road
First, it will be best to download offline google maps before you go.
There’s a good chance you won’t get data service as you’re driving around the vast majority of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Then, when you’re driving, you can put in Cane Creek Twin Falls as your destination.
Once you’re on Little River Road you’ll want to start paying attention to google maps.
You can then use the GPS (this will generally still work around the park) to know when you’re getting close to Cane Creek Twin Falls so you can be prepared to slow down and pull over.
It is quite easy to miss the pullover spot for these waterfalls, and once you pass it, there’s really not an easy way to turn around!
And so, looking at google maps will be helpful.
The parking spot is not quite so obvious, and until you get really close you might not even notice the small pullover area. It’s kind of on a bend.
And then basically once you are at the parking area, you will be able to get a view from across the river of Cane Creek Twin Falls.
So they are cute little waterfalls.
And I guess the waterfalls are bigger than what you can actually see. More of the waterfalls seem to be covered by the tree leaves. (Read the reviews.)
And that’s a bit about seeing Cane Creek Twin Falls!
Be sure to also see more stops to make on the drive from Gatlinburg to Cades Cove!
