Wytheville is where Interstates 77 and 81 cross, so most of these twenty-three falls work as easy day trips. Falls of Dismal is the swimming stop, a half mile walk with dogs welcome and water deep enough to matter in July. Big Falls and The Falls each run about 2 miles with 300 feet of gain. Bull Falls is a flat mile where the dog can come. The rest scatter through Jefferson National Forest ridges on both sides of town.

Located at 36.9530°N, -81.0881°W
