Finally, you'll reach t...

There's also a hidden water hole at the very top of the waterfall about 0.2 miles up stream, I saw people in it during the summer. This is an outstanding trail that is very maintained, easy to walk on.224 Dingmans Falls R...

They will pick you up at the destination of your choice along the river (see their website for options), drive you to their slipway 20 or so miles upstream, supply yo...

Throughout the entire hike, there is only 700 ft. of elevation gain. Don't let this turn you away if you are looking for spectacular views. Cliff Park Trail starts at the top of a ridge several hundred ...
