7 months agoMainly commenting on the ATV part of this trail. We did not do the hiking side. Hiking would likely be an all day excursion. Access to the official trailhead requires a vehicle with off roading capability, otherwise you have to park down at the end of the road and hike quite a ways. We used an app that shows the trail on gps so we could make sure we were staying on route because there are lots of other atv trails that have been made up there and there are no markers to tell you the way. There’s a couple big mud pits and there’s lots of rocky ascents so just be prepared for that. But if you’re equipped with a good atv and have experience with those terrains it’s a great ride and the falls are amazing- totally worth it- we had a great time.

7 years agoGreat hike! It's wooded farther up than I expected, but the shade is nice on a hotter summer day (like any of early July '19). Once you crest the Ridgeline at 3 miles (from the trailhead, not end of pavement), it's a nice open-country ramble to the falls. You'll sweat, but it's well worth it. Watch out for ATV traffic over the last mile and a half to the falls.

5 years agoThis is an amazing hike. Come prepared and show up early. If your vehicle can't handle the road up to the trail, your walk distance will be increased significantly
