Hike to White Rock Falls

10/31/20

This is an amazing waterfall trail in the north end of the BRP that is blazed yellow, I was there yesterday. It is hard to find the trail from the lot at mm 20. You have to cross the road and walk to the left (take the road north) about 50 yards. There are multiple falls, but the directions above do not tell you how to get to the base of the double waterfall. After the overlooks and a few switchbacks, you come to a fork in the trail (approximately 3/4 mile from the trailhead). The trail to the right is the main trail. The trail that leads forward is double blazed yellow and follows the cliff wall to the base of the double waterfall (this is the best part of the hike!), then you have to go back along that same trail to the main trail. You can either head back to your car the same way you came from or you can continue on the main trail (now to your left) that goes down along the creek. Then, you see multiple other falls from a distance, so it’s better to go when there are no leaves on the trees. Once you arrive back at the BRP, you can also hike the Slacks trail back to where you parked your car or the BRP. However, if I’m doing the whole White Rock Falls Trail, I actually like to do it in the opposite direction by parking at the lot at mm 18, hiking the trail, and then walking the parkway back to my car because the parkway goes downhill from mm 20 to 18 and the views are amazing! If you do it this way, you come to the fork after about 1.5 miles. To get to the trail from the lot at mm 18, cross the road at the south end of the lot.
