White Oak Falls (click to enlarge)

White Oak Falls is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Shenandoah National Park.  When you visit the falls you can either park above the falls and hike down, or park below the falls and hike up.  I have done it both ways and I FAR AND AWAY advise you to park below the falls and hike up.  That way you are walking down hill at the end of the day.  Furthermore, I suggest you leave your camera in the bag until you reach the big falls.  Then pull your camera out and shoot your way back to the car.

Here is a link to a map of the area.  If you decide to park above the falls and walk down, I suggest you park in the Crescent Rock Overlook lot and walk down Skyline Drive to the White Oak fire road.

By the way, we saw a bear crossing the road just before we pulled into the parking lot.  Unfortunately, we were not quick enough to get our cameras out of the bag.
