Kendra NicholsIt was such a fun walk to the waterfall. We parked in the closer parking lot and the walk was maybe around 7 to 10 mins. There are a lot of stairs but it's a fun walk.

Sara LobdellEpic find. 0.5 mile hike with half on a nicely marked, shaded, wide trail and half down some steep steps. Kid friendly! Wading area with a deep part at the base of the falls only 3.5 feet deep. It is advised to wear water shoes or sandals because of the roots and rocks. When we visited between 12pm and 4pm there was plenty of shade and we went out at 101*, it didn't feel like it! If you're lucky like we were, pack a hammock, few trees available. Definitely a popular spot but not over crowded, people cycle out about an hour at a time. Asphalt parking for about 20 cars. Waterfall face is climbable, be cautious it's a tight climb narrow climb on only dry rock face immediately to the right of the waterfall. We were able to climb it but there were no pools at the top, just flowing streams. Small fish are present, no bigger than 4", and I think a crawfish, be careful if choosing to pick up the big rocks in the water to drop them for a satisfying splash. Dog friendly. Clean, I saw no trash!

Shane ChappellMy dog and I went on a random road trip and ended up here instead of going to Pilot Mountain. Still ended up there latter anyways. Great little stair master workout stairs on any elevation change. 0.5 miles one way took me 40 mins to go down with the pup take pics and come back up only seen one couple the entire time. Parking lot was empty great time.

Jennifer MeurerAbsolutely beautiful, easy trail. Best advice is get there early because the parking lot fills up quick. I got there at 7:30am and had the bottom of the waterfall as to myself. It was so relaxing & peaceful.

Billy ChanthilackIt's a short hike to the waterfall, when we went with the family before camp, it was packed, but the kids had fun. Recommend for all ages.
