About This Trail

Imported description

The sixth tallest year-round waterfall is located on the trail. This version allows the upper trail to lead to the falls. It's the easiest way to get to the waterfall. The lower trail is often flooded during the springtime so this is the only trail that leads to the waterfall. The trail head is near a body of water. The trail is a pleasure to Hike and takes about a half day.
