What you'll see 💧 Waterfall

A short hike down a fire road to a series of cascades that descend about 80 feet into a gorge. Note that it may be waterless in dry seasons. Distance: 1 .3-mile round trip hike Difficulty: Easiest (explanation of our hiking difficulty scale ) Hiking Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Elevation Gain: 325 feet Hike Description From the Lands Run parking area (mile 9.2), follow the fire road downhill for about 0.6-mile and look for a small stream that flows under the road (it may be waterless in dry conditions). Follow the stream about 25 feet on the right to the top of a small waterfall. There is a series of cascades that descend about 80 feet into a gorge. It's a beautiful area to explore, but use caution around the falls and steep, rocky areas. Turn around and retrace your steps back to the parking area.
