July 20, 2020A bit muddy and some confusion on parks being closed off (one side was roped off, but the other wasnt. We didn't realize we were on the closed part till we were exiting.) The overall hike was excellent, though. Not experienced hikers, but it was very easy for us to get through minus a few rocky areas.

July 11, 2020June 19, 2020A portion of this trail is closed for “dangerous trail conditions.” A bit of it was a little confusing and we got onto a middle path somehow.
May 30, 2020Some areas are blocked off and a bit muddy but a nice, easy walk!
May 30, 2020Extremely crowded. Several trees down. Very treacherous.
May 28, 2020Lots of connecting trails, but all are short so it’s fun to go off the map and explore. You’ll end up back at the start eventually! Can get muddy in places, and there’s often a decent amount of people. Great for a beginner hiker.
May 23, 2020Part of trail along the water was closed
May 9, 2020Very good trail that follows the rapids/river/falls with the woods on the other side. The trail is rocky in parts but nothing difficult.
April 6, 2020April 5, 2020Partial closure from the falls to the first bend... great easy hike! Great side of the river to check out the falls

December 8, 2019took this trail from great george trail just to add miles and see views from other side of river and not to do the full out and back on george trail..made a nice loop from meadow to george to ferncliff..lil muddy from snow melt but nothing major
September 27, 2019Nice hike on opposite side of river from state park. Many excellent views of falls and rapids.
September 25, 2019Hiked last weekend with my dog who gives it 5 stars. Trails are marked and can be followed easily if you watch for the blazes. Nice walk along the water and over the rocks but nothing that is too difficult.
September 14, 2019A great trail. A bit muddy and rocky. It is nice and shaded by the rhododendrons.
