Hiked the orange trail. It's only like a 2.5 mile hike but it feels so much longer because of the steep uphill parts. Reaching the vista was beautiful tho and walking back by the water was really pretty. I always love coming here, it's peaceful and I always feel better after 💚 12/10

Can I bring my dog here?

Gina Malenfant | Oct 2, 2020
Sarah S | Oct 2, 2020

Yes, absolutely! There are a few paths that I would try to avoid because of the rocks you have to climb over. The beginning of the blue/white/yellow trail on the left side of the waterfall has some steep rocks that pups may not be able to get down/up. But you should be good!

Is there a children's play area available?

T Acharya | Oct 3, 2019
Kevin Fisher | Oct 3, 2019

The short answer is: Not Really...There are plenty of open areas, & water features. Children should be well supervised, as Devil's Hopyard can be very dangerous! (As the name suggests...)
