Description
This is a great hike for the whole family! The entire trail is located in a forest that follows Maxwell Creek to the falls. The falls are short and not particularly majestic, but they are fun for kids and pets to splash around in while enjoying this beautiful area. There are some steep areas near the falls, so just pay attention to those in your group. Note: There are multiple ways to get to the falls.
