No signage telling you that pets are not allowed on trail until you have already paid and parked. Although horses are allowed. Guaranteed the horses leave more poop and they don't pick it up. Very disappointed.

Three waterfalls loop trail is 2.5 miles. Deep creek horse trail joins The deep creek trail at the top of the loop trail. Deep creek trail is a better trail on the loop. The horse trail is 420 feet of elevation gain and some rougher terrain.
