Findlay Falls Trail Description
Although it may be short, the Findlay Falls Trail is an amazing hike that will take you to a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the rugged and powerful falls. With relatively well-maintained pathways, a short overall distance, and fairly flat terrain, this hike is easily accessible for almost every hiker. The trail sets out from the recreation site and heads through the tree cover to the west. Along the trail, you will be able to hear the sound of rushing water as you work parallel to the creek and inch your way closer to the falls. Eventually, you will arrive at a viewpoint overlooking the azure-blue water as it crashes and flows over the large rock formation. After taking in the sights of the powerful falls, head back along the trail to return to your vehicle at the recreation site.
