3.5 star— rounded to 4.

Nice walk and shaded. Enjoyable and not crowded.

The trail is on the wrong side of the parking lot— take extra care as cars travel 60+mph. It would be nice to have some sort of light that alerts drivers. The parking lot is small and can handle about 10 cars imo.

The trail is beautiful but not spectacular compared to other local trails. Easy to navigate for active individuals.

beautiful & quick hiking trail within the city. would’ve loved to see the waterfall in full display but it was lovely. quiet time didn’t see anyone but one person for like a few seconds.

I loved the trails! We did the diamond trail, with our 3 little kids (6,8, & 9). It wasn't the easiest trail but easy enough for our kindergartener.
The scenery was beautiful & we loved the water we saw.
Will definition go back.

A really awesome place to go hiking! I enjoyed every second of it.

No bathrooms that I could see or even benches. Be weary of what you leave in the car because there have been many car break ins. There is glass in the parking lot. It is also a small parking lot and can get crowded fast.

Beautiful area, well kept paths, no litter in sight. A few other groups there walking but not crowded or too busy. Unfortunately NOT wheel chair or stroller accessible. The roots on the path and steep slopes were beautiful, but wheels would not be able to travel on it.

Nice one and a half mile walk with some nice fresh air in areas of the trail and take a right for the loop to have an easier walk take a left for a for elevated climb walk

Beautiful day for a hike. Family, dog friendly & great for couples.

Well marked map at the parking lot. Basically 2 mile loop with extra loop if you want to take it could add another mile.

There are additional bridges & overlook area since February when we were here last.

And, this is designated part of the North Carolina Mountain To Sea Trail (MST).

No paved paths - 100% dirt, root & rock.
No rest rooms or drinking water.
3 places to sit & rest if you want to picnic or sit and enjoy the elements for a while. - picnic table, bench by waterfalls & overlook.

Hiking boots recommended & hiking pole if you have them, as the leaves are slippery & there are plenty of roots on the trails.

Very pleasant. I was a bit surprised there was so much elevation change on the trail, but it was very welcome for me. Some parts of the trail can be a bit narrow, but they're in a nice part of the woods, and the cascades themselves are very nice as well. It was quite a bit more crowded than I expected, but it was a Saturday. I'll have to go on a weekday next time.
