Doyles River

Driving DirectionsPark at the Doyles River parking lot at mile 81.1 of the east side of the Skyline Drive, or in the small lot near Browns Gap at mile 82.9. Use the Browns Gap parking for a combined hike with Jones Run, as it is somewhat shorter.
Walking DirectionsBegin walking the trail from the parking area; it soon crosses the Appalachain Trail. The trail crosses Browns Gap fire road in about 1 mile, then begins to follow the Doyles River. The trail soon crosses the river. (If starting from Browns Gap, it is about 1.7 miles to the intersection).

Lower Doyles River Falls
