Waterfalls & Wilderness: Glen Burney Falls Trail

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Excellent place to visit and have other social events

The Juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for us on this one. If you are an avid hiker and are looking for an aerobic workout, go for it. It is a small, but pretty waterfall. We brought our 3 year old and it was a little too much for us. The terrain was steep and slick with mud in several locations and we’ve been spoiled by all the other amazing waterfalls we’ve seen with less effort.

We arrived at the trail a little later than usual on Sunday 3/23 morning (10 am) and the parking lot was full on the right side. On the left side was unclear if it was legal to park there. (Near the porta-john). We squeezed in on the right side. The first half of the trail was normal until you started down to the falls. I would suggest you not hike this trail if it has rained a day or two before. It could be very muddy and slippery. It was dry and we still slid in some steep places. I would also suggest good boots and a walking stick. We hiked .92 miles in and the rest of the trail was gone. The hurricane had washed away a part of the trail that takes you to the end and at the falls. Too steep and unstable to venture down to the water, so we turned around. Overall, it was a good workout, but would have loved to have seen the end.

If you’re looking for a scenic hike, this is NOT it. I don’t even know how this is listed as a trail because it’s more like an extreme obstacle course designed to break your spirit (and possibly your bones). My entire body is aching from what felt like hours of rock climbing, scrambling, and borderline parkour just to get through. The so-called “trail” is barely marked, incredibly steep, and full of loose rocks that make every step a gamble. At times, I genuinely questioned if I’d make it out in one piece. There’s no proper footing, no maintained path—just a relentless uphill battle that leaves you breathless (and not in a good way). It’s dangerous and should not be recommended for anyone who isn’t training for some kind of survival competition. Save yourself the pain (and potential ER visit) and pick a real trail. This one should come with a warning label—or better yet, be removed from maps altogether.
