👍👍 Elk river falls is a easy beautiful waterfall to get to. It was only maybe 0.2 miles to get to the top of the falls and a little less than that to get to the bottom. There a small bit of elevation gain at the beginning with a staircase but flattens out after that. If you go to the bottom there's may... People often mention falls, short, parking,

    Elk river falls is a easy beautiful waterfall to get to. It was only maybe 0.2 miles to get to the top of the falls and a little less than that to get to the bottom. There a small bit of elevation gain at the beginning with a staircase but flattens out after that. If you go to the bottom there's maybe an additional 50 ft elevation gain. Very beautiful waterfall with almost no work and the whole family can enjoy it. We took our 7 week old in a car seat and it was very manageable. The drive out was easy as well with a limited gravel portion at the end. We went on a Sunday afternoon and parking was limited.

    This was a short hike to the Elk River Falls. The parking area was packed and we ended up parking a little way down the road. From there it was a short way hike to the top of the falls. The hike to the bottom of the falls was also short, but rather steep. Great place to take pics.

    Beautiful waterfall and a super easy to follow, short trail to the falls. It would be five stars if our fellow humans could take it upon themselves to not trash up every natural space they can access.

    The falls were the best part. I didn’t get to explode the Game Lands as much as I would have liked to. But it is such beautiful country land out there!

    Short walk from the parking area but alittle dangerous with unsure footing. I also see a snake or 2 Everytime I go.

    Beautiful area. The walk to the falls is narrow, so keep hands on little ones. The trail falls off on one side to the river and the current is strong. A nice short walk to the bottom of the falls.

    Nice visit to Elk Falls. It is a short walk from the parking area. Great for a short hike with kids. The parking area is small.
