Waterfall Safety Warning Provided by the Dupont Forest website: WARNING: Although beautiful to see, waterfalls can be very dangerous. Every year people fall TO THEIR DEATH after a slip on wet rocks above and around waterfalls in the area. Never climb or slide on waterfalls, or swim, wade or play in the water above a waterfall. Children must be constantly supervised when visiting waterfalls. Do not allow pets to roam freely. It is easy to underestimate the slickness of rocks and the strong flow of water. Stay on the established trails and enjoy the view from the overlooks.
January 26, 2021January 24, 2021Nice easy hike for the entire family.
January 24, 2021Great trail. A portion was closed so the loop wasn’t possible but it was still a great hike. Beautiful falls. Not crowded at all.
January 24, 2021Beautiful, but half of the trail was closed off making it less exciting.
January 24, 2021Parts of the trail are closed. Including the eastern portion of the loop that connects high falls to triple falls. The western part of the loop is still open. You can still see all the falls, but you will have to go the long way around. Still a fun hike and not muddy
January 23, 2021Several parts of this trail closed. Could not do loop and did not see High Falls or Hooker Falls at the end.
January 17, 2021Easy and great even for small dogs
January 17, 2021A little busy but so beautiful. Mostly flat hike and can make longer by taking different loops
January 17, 2021January 5, 2021January 4, 2021First hike of the new year and it was amazing. The trails are wide and very well-maintained. It was cloudy but the falls were beautiful. Definitely go down to the base of Highfalls and walk along the edge to the rocks just below the falls for a Misty experience. The backside of the Triple Falls loop is much quieter if you’re looking for a peaceful walk back to the parking area.
January 3, 2021Super nice!
January 2, 2021January 2, 2021We were there about 5 days ago. Beautiful waterfalls and an overall wonderful experience. Some icy patches where it was shady. We got there around mid morning and the parking lot was already filling up and it was packed by the time we left. We had a great time even for novice hikers!
December 30, 2020Amazing waterfalls. A little too crowded for us but with the low difficulty of the trails, that’s to be expected.
December 27, 2020Beautiful waterfalls, but lots of people, pets, drones, etc. I found a little peace and quiet on the way back up I took the backside loop of the Triple Falls loop which is less traveled. Definitely recommend for the waterfalls, and a great place to take out-of-town visitors, but I probably won't go back until I'm taking a guest.
December 23, 2020December 21, 2020December 10, 2020December 5, 2020November 26, 2020November 25, 2020Beautiful waterfalls but would not consider this moderate. Well groomed trials and lots of space and pretty flat for the most part
November 21, 2020Nice hike and family friendly. Well worth the views and nice walk
November 21, 2020Very busy for November 20, but the weather was gorgeous. Would not suggest this hike for experienced hikers looking for solitude... I can’t imagine how heavily trafficked these trails are in the summer months.
November 17, 2020great walk, not busy, great for the dogs and child!
November 17, 2020November 14, 2020Fantastic trail ! Well marked . Go early lr parking gets full. We went at 9:30am and when we left at 11:30am the parking lot was completely full .
November 8, 2020Beautiful falls, heavy heavy traffic be prepared to wait to take your pic of the falls. All 3 parking lots full people had to park in road.
