Cataract Falls Trail Details

If you are looking for a quick and easy hike with pretty scenery, then this may be the right trail for you. For 2.5-miles, you will walk past numerous waterfalls, babbling creeks, and acres of lush green forest. This is a great option for those hot summer days as the entire trail is shaded by the hot sun. And whatever you do, do not go swimming in the waterfall pools. Hikers can be fined if a park ranger happens to see you.
