Lynchburg Area Waterfalls

 Statons Creek Falls - roadside falls in the middle of no where.  It took us a little to find it.  There was a small parking area.  We just viewed from the top.  Too steep with wet leaves to try climbing down.




Wigman Falls - easy 0.2 hike.  




Crabtree Falls - 1.7 mile to the top.  Lots of steps & 1500 feet of elevation.  We didn't have a lot of time, so we just hike to the bottom of the upper falls.
