Little Bird Falls (Waterfall on Green Creek)
A split cascade. The creek is about as scenic as the falls themselves. The name "Little Bird Falls" comes from a sign nailed to a tree at the falls.
Directions
Driving
Green Creek flows under NC Hwy. 215 about 4.8 miles South of the intersection with the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is barely enough room for a (small) vehicle to park off the shoulder here. If you can't swing it, you'll have to park up or down the road a bit and walk back.
Trail
From the end of the guardrail at the West end of the crossing (downhill), pick up a faint scramble path up the bank under the rhododendrons. This pops out on an old logging roadbed. An easy hike upstream on this roadbed ends right at the falls.
