About Yellow Creek Falls

Yellow Creek Falls delivers a quick, rewarding waterfall experience that's perfect for hikers who want beauty without a major time commitment. The 0.3-mile trail takes just 15-20 minutes to reach a lovely cascade where you can cool off in the shallow swimming area. While visitors appreciate the easy access and convenient trailhead parking, the trail's tree roots, rocks, and steady incline make it more challenging than the short distance suggests—most rate it moderate rather than easy.
