Toms Creek Falls Trail is a 0.7 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Marion, North Carolina that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Very pleasant walk to the base of Tom Creek Falls, an 80-foot cascade. Several nice areas for campsites along the creek (14-day maximum camping limit per month posted). There is an old waterwheel base off to the right of the trail. Accessibility: This trail has a new crushed gravel surface and is typically at least five feet wide. The estimated average grade is 4% but it has some steep sections with a grade over 15% at the end of the trail. The Falls observation deck at the end of the trail is wheelchair accessible.
January 27, 2021Very easy trail. Go hard right once you cross the bridge to get above the falls. Beautiful especially after rain.

November 27, 2020November 27, 2020easy walk for the whole family 3 generations. baby in a stroller and grandma.
November 20, 2020Easy walk but end result is beautiful.
November 17, 2020Very easy hike with rewarding waterfall. So beautiful. Very strange characters at the top - they appeared very out of it. Made me feel uncomfortable as a lone hiker.
November 17, 2020Easy, short walk if you have small children or just want to chase another waterfall in North Carolina. This one is beautiful. We took a lunch and hung out at the base of the falls for about an hour. Nice day.
November 10, 2020Great hike! Super family friendly - a nice, easy walk to the falls. Steep climb to the top of the falls but plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view without doing the climb. Small parking lot but also some off street parking available.
November 10, 2020Awesome easy hike. So beautiful Falls were amazing. There was a small cave up to the right of the falls. Leaves were still gorgeous! Not crowded during the week at all.
November 10, 2020Nice and easy hike for kids, elderly folks or dogs. I would even say stroller accessible until you reach the falls. If you continue to the very top of the falls, it does get rocky and steep but it is a really short hike from the bottom of the falls to the top. Plenty of access to water along the way for dogs.
November 4, 2020Easy. Great for wife and dog.
October 31, 2020Beautiful. Easy hike. Kid friendly.
October 30, 2020Just as described, easy trail even after the rains. So many spots to enjoy the falls, and I highly encourage you to continue on up to the right to the top of the Falls. There were at least 3 additional cascades above, and it was wonderful to see all the twists and turns leading to each drop, and the pools below each one. Great spot. 3 cars here at 10am, full by 11 when I left (on a Friday).
October 25, 2020Nice stretch after hard hike on previous day.
