While the waterfall is a main feature of this trail, hikers should note that it’s not possible to get within 100 feet of it. However, you’ll still enjoy scenic views and the lovely atmosphere this trail has to offer.

Part of the trail is paved and is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. The later sections of the trail, closer to the waterfall, are gravel.
