Before you go

  • Merged identity (1 source rows) || Page 50 E-2 | I suspect there are three falls on Pollywog Stream - an upper falls near Pollywog Pond, the main falls within Pollywog Gorge itself and a lower falls.
  • the Appalachian Trail follows Pollywog Stream, but I'm not sure if it visits all three falls or if some BUSHWHACKING is involved
