The road to get here is about 25 min long and make sure to drive slow because the road is very narrow, almost got in an accident. Overall the trail was great and easy. The fall and bridge were great together. The best time to be there is after 9am to get enough sun to light up the falls.

The trail head is nicely kept and the path is really nicely maintained all the way to the falls. When we got there not allot of people but by noon people started showing up. Parking could be an issue later in the day.

Great place to get out in nature. Not too far of hike, only 1.5 miles to the waterfall. The suspension bridge is amazing to get photos from. I highly recommend taking a look. (:

Beautiful exciting hike! It got muddy at some parts but the suspension footbridge and waterfall are totally worth it! Please note, it does get busy throughout the day so parking can become an issue. I recommend early mornings!

Where dose the North trail come out?

joan roldan | Aug 12, 2021
Angela Smith | Aug 13, 2021

It just loops around longer. 1 mile longer at some point it comes back to the main trail towards the bridge. However we peeked down the north trail and it was very over grown. I have a photo of the map but can't figure out how to post it here.

Yes, restrooms for men and women at the trailhead, but not at the bridge or waterfall, so go before you head out on the trail.

What's the largest RV that could park at the trail head?

JB Leahy | Dec 11, 2019
Brandy Young | Dec 12, 2019

The parking lot is pretty full during no popular hiking times. Bringing an RV in hopes to park would be risky. Either you'll be blocking needed spots, or be unable to park.

How much time does it take?

Richard Dones | Dec 11, 2018
Robert Hunt | Dec 12, 2018

Depends on fitness and age. First time I did it, I was challenged. Not so much the hike down, but the hike back. Second time not so much. First time I hiked it, it took me about twenty minutes to a half hour to get to the falls. About an hour or more to hike out. I hope this helps...I am 66 years of age.

How difficult and steep is the uphill portion on the return?

Claudia Curt | Dec 11, 2018
Jeremiah Isom | Dec 12, 2018

It is very family friendly. Because it has some elevation change, I would rate it as "Easy+" but not "Moderate". I've seen many people with shorter legs or seemingly lower levels of fitness having an easy time of the hike. It can be muddy in places if it has been raining lately but those spots aren't too difficult to get around.
