We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Busby Falls yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

My favorite place to hike! Busby Falls is part of a short-spring nature area. This one is the easiest and closest one to walk to. Sometimes you just want to enjoy nature without walking so far, this is the one! Very quiet and beautiful, make you feel so relaxed!
Gorgeous trails and fantastic waterfalls. Great to hike on a nice day.

There a bridge that's goes across the water but there is a little spot about 3 to 4 feet deep to dip into if your out on trail and u need to cool of asap. Good place to get some fresh air and exercise. Highly recommend this beautiful place.
