Potters Falls is a relatively unknown waterfall along the Lamington River near the unincorporated community of Pottersville. Unlike the nearby unnamed waterfall, located just a few hundred feet upriver, Potters Falls is completely on public property in Hacklebarney State Park. The waterfall is located in the far southern end of the park in an area primarily used for hunting. As such there are no marked trails and it is a bushwhack to reach. Upon last attempt to visit, the author turned around before reaching the falls due to tall grass in fear of ticks and plans to return during the spring after hunting season or on a Sunday when hunting is prohibited.
