Trail is long but scenic along the way. I only made it fifteen minutes into the walk but I’ll try more next time!

Starts out easy, with some small inclines, then you hit a couple of rocky patches, once you hit the canopy of the forest, its like a recharge, and at that point you are super close to the Fall, there is some logs with a rope you have to cross, but not that challenging. The water is very refreshing and the fall just makes you feel great, the walk back is a little challenging on the incline, for the upper thigh muscles, this is only the 3rd trail me and my wife have ever hiked and it was a little challenging, but dont give up! The Forest canopy and the Waterfall is well worth it!

Great hike but would recommend going early as it has a lot of sun! Going is all uphill! Need to be in moderate shape! Water is ice cold and accessible in many spots to cool off. Being a good amount of drinking water.

I hiked Hunter Creek on a warm afternoon and was surprised by how fast it felt removed from the city. The trail climbs steadily through open hills before reaching a waterfall that makes a great turnaround point and an even better excuse to linger. I brought trekking poles for the descent and was glad I did. Spring gives this trail its best version.
