Town creek falls Waterfall in Monticello, Kentucky
Town Creek Falls in Monticello, Kentucky, offers a beautiful and rewarding experience for those willing to navigate its somewhat challenging access. The falls are not part of a park, so visitors need to park at Kennet's Antiques and walk along the highway to find the trailhead. While the hike is short, it involves a steep and narrow path with some poison ivy, so wearing long pants and carrying a walking stick is advisable. Despite these challenges, the double waterfall, featuring both an upper and lower area, is stunning and makes the short trek worthwhile.
