We went here a few times we enjoyed it so much. The first time we took a hike up the trails and watched others tubing down and playing in the water. The river is quick when it has rained so be careful. A 12 yr old girl floated by by accident and it took a while to find her. The next time we came we brought tubes, I recommend real tubes not the floaties we bought. We flipped right out and had lots of excitement. We had fun watching the agriculture workers complete their monthly stock the waters with trout.

Great area to visit. Getting to the falls is a little tricky and you have to follow the road without much signage. The hike is not difficult as we had a 7 and 10 year old with us without any problems. It can be dangerous if wet so do not visit during or after rain. Really beautiful spot.

Take your kids, your suits and some inner-tubes for a great day. Kids can float probably 500 yards and easily walk back. They have picnic area and I think a charcoal grill. Great hill hike too up above the river.

Fires Creek Falls is right across from a recreation area. The falls were beautiful and you can walk right up to them if you take your shoes off. There is also a little pool and a rushing stream at the bottom of the falls where you can relax and tube. I highly recommend this area!

On our only full day in Murphy, my Mom wanted to go to a waterfall elsewhere, but due to bad GPS directions and poorly-maintained roads, that idea was scrapped. So, we went to this place instead, easier to get to with roads that aren't horrible. It's a nice set of waterfalls you could see from your car in the lot. Of course, it's better to get close and take some pics or videos. Also feels good to get wet when the summer heat and humidity is heavy.

I have been to this place several times. Summer is great for jumping in the water or even putting a tube in and floating a bit. It's cold but nc is HOT in summer. Hiking trails are good but not well marked. Get your map before getting here because no cell service.

This is one of my favorite areas when we visit Murphy, NC. There's a nice easy walk along the creek. We always bring sandwiches for a picnic lunch. The falls are nice but hard to totally see unless you are in the creek - nice swimming hole

The creek is beautiful, clean, and a great way to cool off in the heat of summer. The falls are accessible by crossing the creek. I reccommend bringing na inner tube to float down the creek and enjoy the water that much more. The recreation area is clean and has a lot of picnic table with grills. There are trails across the bridge for hiking or biking. You could make a day of it or spend a short time. It's easy to find with ample parking.

Was right down the road from us in Hayesville, easy to find and plenty of trails to choose from. Loop around the waterfall for a bit more of a challenge, lope around the paved trails for easier fun. Great fun for our dog, very pretty area and not many crowds. Play in the water, pics by the bridge!

Directions from Murphy: about 9 miles out on Hwy 64 towards Haynesville. Turn left by gas station onto Fires Creek Rd, go about 5 miles till you reach a sign for Fires Creek Recreation area. Turn left, drive until fork in road where small signpost says "Leatherwood" (bear left) this takes you to parking area. You can see the waterfall from the parking lot. To hike to the top, hike across the bridge and follow the trail. Nice hike, nice picnic areas. Worth the trip!
