April 8, 2021Very busy trail. Lots of people and dogs everywhere. Trail is suitable for most all ages and levels. Some good elevation, rocks, and uneven ground but even my 5 year old was fine with it.
April 2, 2021Great trail! Some elevation gain, but nothing too bad. The trail was busy, especially on our way back from the falls (mid-afternoon). There is a nice viewing platform of the falls at the end of the trail.
March 31, 2021Great trail! Went when it was raining so very slippery but the Falls were beautiful!
March 24, 2021Beautiful and easy
March 23, 2021Nice falls easy hike. Good for when there is not much time or rain is pending.
March 17, 2021This was a nice trail that was doable for my 7 and 4 year olds. My youngest needed help, but was able to walk the whole way. We went yesterday, so it was muddy in some spots, but the trail is pretty well packed. There are a lot of tree roots to watch out for and the trail is narrow which I imagine is hard for two way traffic. We went after the rain, we had it all to ourselves. If you have a choice of driving to the trail head from Blue Ridge or Cherry Log, I strongly recommend coming from Blue Ridge via Aska Rd. It’s all paved road. Coming from the south side, it’s all gravel.
March 15, 2021March 15, 2021Great hike.. nicely maintained.. kind of crowded but worth it
March 15, 2021Arrived around 9:40am on a Monday during spring break time and there was only one other car in the parking area. Didn’t pass anyone on the way up or at the falls. Passed many groups on the way back and the parking area was full. If you’d rather not have crowds earlier is better! Beautiful falls, trail was easy to follow, although many of the blazes need to be remarked. There are 3 benches along the way if you need to sit. The terrain was a bit hard for my 7 year old but he’s never hiked mountains before, it’s very flat where we live.
March 14, 2021March 13, 2021Heavily trafficked, but beautiful waterfall and trail! Fair warning— you will be driving on a dirt, hilly road for a few miles/ten minutes and your car will get super dirty!
March 5, 2021Don’t park in the Aska trails parking lot if you don’t have 4 wheel drive. The last part of this trail is just rock creek rd. Your be better off to just keep driving down rock creek rd to the falls parking lot.
February 13, 2021February 13, 2021Trail was pretty crowded despite light rain. Very muddy and slippery in spots. Not very strenuous and kid-friendly.
February 9, 2021Easy, well-maintained with a gorgeous waterfall. 0.5 mile to and from the falls, out and back trail (uphill going to the falls). A bit muddy today, but that's never stopped an adventure (:
February 8, 2021Nice short hike for a late afternoon with the kids. Trail is a mucky mess with the snow melting, but the falls are beautiful.
February 1, 2021Waterfall was beautiful, but area was crowded.
January 31, 2021Great trail, featuring Fall Branch Falls, but it was really muddy and slippery today. Not too many folks today.
January 25, 2021The trail was fairly easy with pretty scenery. The waterfall is nice!
January 23, 2021Nice trail for a moderate hike. Not too crowded for a Saturday.
January 16, 2021Good view at the end, but extremely muddy on the way. Use caution!
January 13, 2021A nice short walk. It was a little muddy in some parts, but was otherwise enjoyable
January 9, 2021January 6, 2021January 3, 2021Great little trail with a fun waterfall at the end.
January 3, 2021Some trees down but very nice hike
January 2, 2021This is a very busy trail on the weekend. Be prepared for a crowd around the viewing platform for the waterfall. Conditions were pretty muddy due to rain the previous day. *NOTE* The Benton MacKaye Trailhead @ Rock Creek Road as shown on AllTrails is blocked by downed trees. Take the route to the left at the trailhead to go around the debris.
