Amazing hike through Redwoods, several small waterfalls, creek & tree crossings, leading up to the main beauty - Maple Falls! Definitely recommend wearing waterproof shoes with a ton of grip and even ankle support as some parts can be slippery, sandy, and muddy. It took around 4 hours round trip at a mellow pace and so many photo opportunities! Can't wait to go back!

Perfect hike for all levels or ages, as it's lovely short hike down to the falls! To avoid crowds, head there before or after the summer time (May-September)!

It's a short but sweet loop around several beautiful waterfalls! The hike is completely shaded, with several picnic locations throughout the trail and so many photo opportunities along the way! A perfect hike for all levels and ages, with a small uphill portion in the beginning. Definitely recommend checking this park out after some rainfall but it's still a beauty even without significant rainfall! It's a very well maintained park with an $8 entrance fee that you can either pay by card or cash (handy for people who don't carry around cash), several maps are also available to keep, and clean bathrooms will lead the way for the start of the Waterfall Loop hike!
