Silver Thread and Dingman's Falls

At the southern edge of Dingman's Ferry is another unmarked macadamized road.

Right on this road paralleling (R) Dingman's Creek to the junction with a private dirt road (open daily in summer months), 0.4 m.; R. here, across the creek, to a parking space, 1.1 m., from which a footpath leads 400 yards to SILVER THREAD FALLS (adm. 25¢), a giant step in the creek's (53-foot descent in a seven-mile course. The abundance of game is indicated by the signs requesting visitors not to take bear cubs or baby deer out of the woods. One third of a mile distant, on a similar path, is larger DINGMAN's FALLS, 177 feet high; trees, ferns, and spray-drenched moss fringe the foaming white water.
