Beautiful little falls! Not much of a hike from the parking area. Some stairs down to below the falls leads to a viewing area. Lots of cool spots to explore and take pics. I would love to come back and fish here. Saw lots of trout both above and below the falls.

This trail was tranquil yet exciting. The falls were gorgeous and the scenery looked surreal. The walk to get to the falls wasn’t bad at all, however, if you visit please be careful because it’s very stumpy and rocky and you can fall. Also, if you want to see the falls from down below, be ready to carefully climb down a few rocks and stairs! It was fun and worth it!

We love this spot, specially when you can beat the crowds. Parking is limited, so expect to wait for a spot on the weekends unless you get there early. Very well kept and plenty of warning given signs about the slippery rocks 🪨. Those slippery 🪨’s are no joke! Stay safe.

Limited parking, moderate short hike to a great waterfall. Lots of tree roots so you have to watch your step. Steep stairs leading to the falls. Gorgeous falls, the top of the falls is not protected by rails, has warning not to jump.

Family and I took a chance on this trail while on vacation. Had previously attempted the Otter Falls Trail but it was far too cold and difficult for us (with the kids). However, Elk River Falls was perfect for us! It's a short distance with a beautiful payoff. There is a steep climb down to the rocks but as long as you take your time you'll be fine. Definitely worth the trip!

Small but beautiful with swimming holes if you dare the cold waters. (Which this year was nice!) Short but rough because of tree roots. Worth it. Seasoned hikers would not think twice about the trail

Beautiful waterfall. Short walk to get to the top of the waterfall. Super curvy road to get there so take it slow. Absolutely gorgeous.

It was a very curvy road to get to the falls, I thought I had taken a wrong turn. There were 2 trails I wasn’t quite sure if I needed the upper trail or the lower trail thankfully someone told me take the lower trail. The trail has a lot of roots and slick rocks in certain areas. If you are not sure footed this would not be a good ideal. I’m not in the best shape and the walk back from the falls I had to stop twice just due to the incline. It was definitely worth walking to. Very beautiful and there were A lot of people there even in the rain.
