Dunloup Creek is one of many creeks that tumbles into the New River Gorge. The creek drops over a 20' sandstone ledge about 2 miles from the river on the road to Thurmond WV, Fayette County WV The falls is located right along side Route 25. There is a small turnout by the falls, but otherwise there are no signs, fences or any other development here. The falls are visible from the turnout, but to get a good view you have to walk down the banks. There is a railroad on the other side of the creek. Like many hilly areas, the railroads and highways follow the gorges cut by the creeks through the hills.
