About this place

Added by Outbound

An easy, family-friendly hike along Fighting Creek to a 25-foot cascade.

You will find the trailhead to this gravel path just to the left of the Sugarlands Visitor Center. The easy walk along Fighting Creek is scenic and tends not to be crowded, either.

At the end of the hike you will find a beautiful 25-foot waterfall. Please refrain from climbing on or around the falls.
