This was a very nice walk not very long maybe half a mile there and back if not .2 more but when you get there, you’re immediately met with cool breeze and nice streams with a moderate size waterfall. We climb on the rocks just...Read More

Out 4yo and my 70yo Mom all made it! The upward climb to get to the Falls is decent. But with patience, it’s achievable for many age groups. The falls were cool (figuratively and literally). Our 8yo got stung by a bee (packing Benadryl isn’t...Read More

Fantastic hike but not as easy as google makes it seem. Many roots and slick clay. A lot of uphill climbing and big steps.

Well kept park. Plenty of parking. Trail is clearly marked. The trail does have significant roots to navigate while going up/down. There is moderate elevation changes that the average hiker will not worry about. The fall has a small observation deck and there is...Read More

First time going to Fall Branch Falls, and I will say it didn't disappoint. You can tell the park is well maintained. I wouldn't say the trail is hard, BUT you should definitely have some hiking sticks. There are some areas that can be pretty...Read More

ModeratePoint-to-Point2-3 hrHiking, Dog Walking, WalkingPlenty of parkingFree street parkingIt was fairly easy to find somewhere to park. There's not a designated parking lot or anything, but there are spaces to park your car along the road once you enter the park.I didn't see any restrooms, so I would suggest making sure you go beforehand.We saw plenty of fur babies along the trail! Very dog friendly. Just ensure you clean after your babies because there will be a lot of foot traffic.

We did this hike of a morning! There are a lot of roots and it’s steep in the way up but the way back is nice and easy! Not a bad hike at all! Definitely would recommend it!

This hike is a pretty steep incline for the majority of the way to the waterfall. It's a rough path with many tree roots that can both help or hurt your footing, depending on how you use them and how much you pay attention!...Read More

Steep hike with loads of roots and rocks with stairs. About .6 miles there so a little over a half a miles. Worth the hike.
