Iโ€™ve been using the AllTrails app for a new hike and it led me to this one. Although the waterfall was not what i expected (small stream) I enjoyed the hike. There was a lot of insects flying around it did get a little annoying but never the less made the trip horrible just every once in a while i would scare them of with my cap. I did end up hiking the truck trail which theres a circuit and lucky for me thats when all those flys went away and you literally find yourself in the mountain the trail goes along a river. Along the road i came across signs telling a description about the land, which i found pretty interesting. I did went up there with my dog so I was in a few occasions worried about any bears or mountain lions since we were the only ones on the trail, but didnโ€™t encounter any(sighs). Both trails, the water fall & truck trail was a total of 7 miles, good hike, i was glad their was hardly any graffiti and plenty off parking space, $5 on a weekday. Will be back soon, the dam looked cool, even though Iโ€™m afraid of heights. Hiking really has helped me with my anxiety and fears, wear your fav shoes/boots and start exploring!

What a wonderful hideaway for escaping the rigors of the noisy city below. This is a great little park where one can find solitude, picnic areas, hiking trails, beautiful vistas, wildlife, flowers, and trickling brooks. The park is well-staffed. they have a nature center and a ranger station. there's plenty of handicap facilities, but the trails and the roads are somewhat steep.

Stealth camping? No way, too many visit this area especially on the weekends. Heavily trafficked. If you just want to camp, there is an actual campsite but from your question not what you're looking for.

Is it closed Tuesday?

Amadeus Vazquez | Aug 19, 2018
Chasing Different Adventures | Aug 19, 2018

Only parking lot is closed on Tuesdays. Could park at the residential area below 2 1/2miles from Rangers office, then 2 miles to the water falls. The to trails is very brightly sunny so bring water and hydrated. Be safe narrow pathway, runners may suddenly appear and could know you out. In my case I would avoid hurt anyone, and would just fall off the ledges. Have fun and enjoy all of nature's beauty๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰

Is there any place to camp?

D. M. | Aug 19, 2018
Chasing Different Adventures | Aug 19, 2018

Areas identified by Tim Macias confirmed : not along the Trail to the Falls, and ask the Forest Rangers give you directions. When you pay for parking and you would not be able to drive out after 5:00 p.m. gate opens at about 7:00 a.m. so if you don't want get sited parking for the next day would suggest paying for following day as well. Keep in mind weekday parking pass is $5.00, but weekend parking pass is $6.00. Hope this was insightful enough and happy camping, and be safe, cause there are Rattle Snakes and Grizzly Bears

You had better carry your baby...the trails, though they are well maintained, can be rough to push a stroller. However there are park areas that can accommodate strollers.
