Tokopah Falls Trail Details

The trailhead for Tokopah Falls is just beyond the Marble Fork Bridge in Lodgepole Campground. The easy, 1.7-mile (one-way) walk along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River terminates inside the granite canyon walls of Tokopah Canyon, next to the falls. At 1,200 feet, the waterfall is most impressive early in the summer when it's swollen with snowmelt. The trail climbs gently on the way into the canyon alongside the river, making for a nice downhill walk on the way out.
