Cherry Creek Falls Trailhead

Michelle Lease

Busy trail. Parking is a nightmare. If you don't park well off the road they will tow your car. I didn't find an actual trailhead sign, but instead marked by a blue post and large concrete blocks. This trail use to likely be an old logging access road. This trail is not marked, however it is so heavily trafficked, the trail is hard to miss. Every once and a while you'll see a "falls" sign. Once you get to the Old Car it will start to narrow and feel more like a trail. A few muddy spots, nothing that you can't get around. Water crossings are low and easy to get across. Beautiful falls at the end!

Trail is perfect for novice or intermediate hikers. No parking pass is required, so the parking fills up quickly. It’s best to arrive earlier. Trails are pretty muddy, so I would recommend bringing boots. The view of the falls is gorgeous. They seem to be more intense outside the summer as the water hasn’t evaporated.

Not sure why my review was deleted so I'm posting it again. Very nice Trail with moderate elevation gains. Would be fun on a bike but I went there with my dog. I saw what looked like cougar tracks a couple different times and heard noises out in the woods, a big animal walking perhaps. I heard there is a big cougar population here but haven't actually spotted one. The tree cover protects you from the rain if it's just drizzle and if it's hot out you are protected from the sun. Be careful parking there as cars are broken into sometimes. If you want to make it all the way to the waterfall you have to cross a creek as seen in the pics- either on a log or take your shoes off and walk across.

One of the most beautiful hike I ve ever had in seattle area. Parking is pretty tricky actually there is no parking there but you can park on mountain view rd just have an eye on signs. Trail is totally easy n mostly flat and just 2,7 miles till fall. It could be muddy and be prepared to pass water in rainy season. Fall is gorges and you can enjoy the pool in front of that. I was there 5 am and no body was around nut around 8 while I back few parking spots were pack so be early. You will miss data and phone service so make sure to check the gps map trail is little bit confusing and there are nt enough signs.
