Definitely easy hike... short, but splendid views.... some routed were closed, but that's okay because the waterfall makes up for that! Any age can do this trail, along with if you have lunch, they have picnic tables for your convenience.

My 2yr old did this trail fine. The bottom part to see the waterfall is currently (7/4/23) closed but you can see the top part of it. Once getting to the top part it gets muddy. There are bathrooms at the beginning. Normally takes about 20mins to complete, about .8 of a mile length. No sidewalks, not good for wheelchairs. Does get bumpy, some steps. Don't forget your bug spray and if you packed it in, pack it out 🫶

Multiple hikes of varying levels. Great for kids and dogs with stamina to walk for 30 minutes at a time. Busy even for a weekday but in the height of leaf season. Super close to the blue ridge parkway. Park rangers are alway nice and give helpful advice.

beautiful, easy hike. I believe it was a mile round trip to and from the falls. A loop that can be done either way from the start. Neat waterfall but amazing view right from the parking lot too.

If your on the parkway and looking for a beautiful and not too long of a hike, you should check out the cascades. It's not too bad of a hike. Yes your going to have the overgrown roots and large steps but it's nature! 😆. With all the overlooks on the parkway, it sure is nice to have something a little different to check out. If your around the area go have a look and get back to me.

It is right off the blue ridge parkway with plenty of parking. The trail is about a mile round trip and well marked. There are many landings and steps to see the waterfall. It is quite spectacular

Awesome little waterfall trail. Can't really get a good look from below the fall if you stay on the trail like you're supposed to. Has plenty of steps near the bottom so not handicap or disable friendly. Definitely worth hiking to.

Wonderful experience. We didn't make it all the way to the Cascades, but the trail ran along a creek, so we could still experience the scenery along the path. The path is a little older, and up turned in areas, but otherwise a fairly easy hike.
