Falls Creek Loop

Falls Creek Loop is a fantastic little hike that requires relatively little effort for the pleasure of seeing a triple waterfall hidden in the forest. This hike doesn’t get as busy as other waterfalls in the area, so try it on a hot summer weekend when other routes might be congested.
The loop approach is longer than the out and back trail. We have a route guide for the out and back approach as well if you’d prefer a quicker, more direct hike.

Begin from the trailhead. You can choose which way to do this loop. Taking Falls Creek Trail 152 first (heading left and then across the hill) makes the hike more difficult to begin with, requiring more elevation gain in the first half of the hike. You’ll return on the easier Falls Creek Trail 152A.

If you want an easier start and a harder finish, take Falls Creek Trail 152A first (heading east immediately from the trailhead). Stay left at the first junction as you climb away from Falls Creek (you can actually take this spur trail for another view of the falls if you’d like) and then stay right at the junction with Falls Creek Trail 152. Note that there’s a creek crossing just before the falls that can be tricky to cross if it’s rained lately. Bring poles to help you over if needed.

Choose your path and enjoy the falls!
