A very simple hike for those wanting to hike without killing themselves or having to hike for hours to get to the destination! It took maybe 15 minutes and we weren't hurrying. We went to the upper falls and enjoyed the waterfall. Overall, a nice and easy hike.
7 or 8 space campground, 3 or 4 'hike-in' spots and 3 or 4 drive up spots, the campsite we stayed at was a drive up spot, $15 a night for one car up to 8 people $20 for two cars (max) all the sites are arranged differently I saw three of them, all had a plastic picnic table, a log bench, and I fire-pit with a grill.
A covered picnic area and two barbeques, two bear boxes(trash), one was by the trench bathrooms which is also next to the payment receptacle. All around a surprisingly well kept campground for being a 20-minute gravel drive out in the woods.
Beautiful hike to the falls, maybe a half mile hike from campground. The hike was fairly easy, not flat but not rockhopping either :)
Kid/dog friendly to an extent-lots of poison ivy so watch them closely. Only wildlife we saw were chipmunks.
My only complaint were the other campers who stayed up all night screaming hit songs at the top of their lungs/fighting/lighting campfires at the height of wildfire season. They literally ripped down the no fire sign. 🙄😣 But other than that it was great.
The road/new access is a goat trail gravel road that two cars cannot pass each other on for most of it. Do NOT take a camper or trailer up there! It just isn’t safe.The trail head has good parking. The trail to the falls is .4 miles down a series of good stairs. You can walk behind the falls and down more stairs to a pool at the base. It is pretty and well maintained but the route to the access and lack of actual hike are bad. NOT suitable for anyone with physical issues, steep cliff so not good for kids, not good for small cars, SUV’s, campers, trailers.
