About This Trail

Imported description

You can cross the bridge after parking in the gorge and head to the Gorge loop trail. After a little over a mile you'll get some elevation, and then you'll go back to the bridge. You can head north towards the dam and then head east on the gravel road until you get to the Flat Fork area. The only way to enter the woods is by going past the restroom facilities. The trail goes through several lake views before you reach a swinging bridge. The falls are located just west of this area. The trip back will be a slightly different route to make it less like an out and back.
