Our take

Pine Island Double Falls features two waterfalls accessible via a 1.4-mile trail in Daniel Boone National Forest’s London Ranger District, near London in Laurel County. The trail is year-round accessible but is notably narrow, muddy, and steep, so it requires care and appropriate footwear.

Water flow is most impressive after rain or during melting snow. During drier months, these falls can slow to a small trickle or minimal flow, so timing your visit around rainfall significantly improves the experience. The trail conditions—narrow, muddy, and steep—combined with the variable flow make this suited for visitors who are comfortable with challenging terrain and don’t mind muddy boots.

No fee is mentioned for trail access. The combination of two waterfalls on a single short trail makes this an efficient way to see multiple falls if you’re in the area, though the narrow and muddy conditions require preparation and appropriate footwear.
