Those willing to travel off the beaten path will enjoy the breathtaking beauty of two waterfalls sharing the same name. One of the South Clear Creek Falls can be reached by way of an easy and short path from the back-side of the Silver Thread Campground. The trail to the other waterfall starts from Bristol Head Campground.
