Trail starts at horse corral and much of it is parallel to the road. The falls are small, but we did have them to ourselves.

Easy hike, children and puppy friendly.

You need to park at the Main Horse Corral Parking and start the trail from there. Lots of horse manure to wade. The waterfall is small and pretty, but the trail needs proper signage to guide the right direction to the fall.

A quiet trail with a beautiful little pool to wade! We loved it. Easy walk with a young child.
