Hebron Falls via Boone Fork Trail is a 3.2 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Boone, North Carolina that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This trail can also be made into a loop by following the Boone Fork Trail past the falls.
Had to hike in from the parkway (closed because ice) an extra two miles, but it’s absolutely worth it. Trail is slippery in some parts, so caution is advised. Falls are small but very tranquil.
We hiked this trial Saturday, Jan 2nd. We parked off Old Turnpike and took the trailhead from there. It is a very thin trail and feels like your hiking up a dry waterfall. Turns out it is the old Cherokee trail. If you turn left off the trail it leads to a cow field that has beautiful views and a large tree with a rope ladder. Heading back down the trail takes you to Hebron Falls. Our hike as around 5 miles and we enjoyed every minute of it. Dogs gave it a paws up as well.
Nice easy hike. Generally flat except for last 50-100 feet down to falls. Falls aren’t as impressive as others in area. Muddy today
A little muddy but not bad. On the easy side of moderate. Lots of families and dogs today.
Fun trail. Muddy and slippery but really fun. Great way to spend a COVID Thanksgiving.
I’m Elevation change is minimal. Lots of fun creek crossings with enough rocky terrain to keep it interesting!
Very nice. A very good hike for those who enjoy a moderate hike. Lots of stream crossings. Lots to enjoy
Awesome hike!! My recording will take you to be base of Hebron Falls. Simply beautiful!!!
Nice hike through the woods and along a mountain stream with small waterfalls. Multiple creek crossings and muddy conditions make waterproof shoes a big plus. Saw several people late morning/early afternoon of a November Friday. Clockwise seems to be the way to go!
Tons of variety, waterfalls, rhododendron, so peaceful and beautiful!
Loved all the different terrain and river crossings. A bit muddy, I recommend hiking boots for sure.
Wow, what hike!! There are a heck of a lot of terrain changes that go from flat dry ground to climbing rocks topped with moss. There are several stream you will cross, some harder than others but you can do it! If you have waterproof shoes that is definitely a must unless you want to get you feet wet!
