Faery Falls Trail Description
Hiking this route makes for a wonderful adventure. Though most would consider the summer to be the best time to head out, we encourage hikers to explore in the spring when the cascades surge with snowmelt or in the autumn, when the foliage along the path is changing. Though adventurers of all abilities can manage this trail, it is important to note that the final push up to the waterfall is rocky and often slippery—careful footing is required.
Embark on your walk along the Faery Falls Trail from the trailhead off Ney Springs Road. Setting out from here, the Faery Falls Trail travels southwestward, climbing into the ravine of Ney Springs. Enjoy the sounds of the rushing waters as you meander along the path. Marvel at the lush tree canopies that shade the path, and you will ultimately arrive at the waterfall.
The sights of the cascades will mesmerize you. Let the sound of the crashing waters soothe you as you gaze at the postcard-perfect setting. After reveling in the sight of the chute, retrace your footing along the route back to the trailhead.
