Description
Starting at the north end of the Cedar Mills Trail, head right through the debris chute watching for the sign post. Turn left at the sign post and head north. The trail has potentially muddy sections depending on the time of year. This trail is on the mountain side and further from the river though it continues to parallel the river. The trail comes to a T at Norvan Creek. Head right up the creek to Norvan Waterfall (left will take you to a suspension bridge crossing the creek).
