Best hike in the Falls area. Careful of the water. It's amazing to see the raw power of the current mixed with the bright blue water, beautiful forest and rock shield.

Been night fishing here 20+ years, security guard and park police randomly told me "they have the right to govern the hours and don't want me down there" last night. "It's unsafe". Even though the trail is posted as "unsafe enter at own risk." And there are no hours posted anywhere, period. Metered parking at the trailhead even says 24/7.

Gorgeous views on this hike, the trail was an easy walk and well worth the time for the scenery. Seeing the tall rock walls as we neared the water’s edge was breathtaking.

Nope. It's a free trail, the elevator down is even free, or you could use the stairs down. Either way it's still free

How long does it take to hike the trail one way? How many miles long is it?

The trail goes along the entire gorge. Most people park at Devils Hole and walk to Whirlpool State Park or vice versa. Its about a 1.5 miles one way. Unless you go down to the lower trail which has 300-400 steps down to the bottom
