Trail Overview

A nice loop trail with a nice waterfall and if timed right in late spring, you'll walk through a rhododendron tunnel.

How To Get There

From the Massie Gap parking lot, head down and to the left and follow the horse trail/road until you see the livestock fence zig-zag. Trail begins here.

Route Description

Profile chart

It's a loop trail with moderate elevation climb. If you are hiking clockwise, there is a small splashdown area along the way, as well as other side trails of to the left down to the creek. These are not the main falls if resting at the falls is your plan. If you do not see the 180° turn away from the creek with the extension going forward, you are not at the falls yet.

Typical Conditions

Popular trail of the park and should be found in good condition
