Both Deer Skull Falls and Eagle Falls can be accessed by following the Little Ugly Branch west from where it joins the Sipsey at about the midpoint of trail 209 - Sipsey River. You will need to cross the Sipsey to get there.
Walk on either side of Little Ugly for about a mile to where it forks. The left fork takes you on a somewhat difficult walk to Eagle Falls. The banks are steep, so much so that numerous stream crossings are required just to find some place to walk.
Eagle Falls could also be accessed from trail 202 - Randolph, perhaps in conjunction with a hike to Deer Skull Falls. The shortest route would be to park on Highway 60 and just bushwhack your way north. You will want a decent map/GPS for this.
For the club's experience, you may wish to see the Hiking Trip Report from April 2008.
On the Briartech map, look in the lower center section or search for Eagle Falls.
