Path Type
There and Back
Marble Falls trailhead is located up a small service road near Potwisha Campground. Park near campsite #14, follow the dirt service road for about 1/4 mile and across a concrete ditch. The trail is well marked, and starts along a steep bank to the right. Here the trail becomes a singletrack climb. Expect several switchbacks during the ascent, which provide some nice respite.You'll come across several shady areas with a variety of plant life such as oaks, cottonwoods, redbuds, and dogwoods. There are normally several small creek crossings, but during droughts the stream crossings are non-existent. Be careful, as there are lots of rocks and overgrown vegetation on the trail.In its simplest form, this route is an out-and-back of about 3.5 miles each way (7 miles overall), but various side adventures are possible. Expect an elevation gain of 1470 feet to the falls. Once you arrived at the falls be careful as the rocks can be slippery.
