Confirmed from Chair Factory Falls - Greenway Corridor's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.

“It's a very beautiful falls and a nice walk to get there.”

I've been wanting to see Chair Factory Falls and I finally did it! The falls are beautiful! It was a tough walk for me, but I am so glad I went. If I ever make it back there, I am going to bring a sturdy friend to throw me over their back like a sack of potatoes on the way back up that hill!

Very nice walk that ends at the falls. Totally worth a look when you are on the greenway corridor in lake county. Bikes were not allowed. There was a place to park them at the beginning. Restroom was close.

★★★★☆ — Jeffrey , May 2023

It's a very beautiful falls and a nice walk to get there. When you're driving down I-90, you would never know this existed as you're passing by.

★★★★★ — Gerime , Jan 2023

Loved hiking this creek! Mid april visit! What a fun time. We went in at Jordan creek but took the river down to chair factory falls and also went further up past jordan creek park. There were at least 4 other waterfalls all able to be walked up and over if you go up creek from chair factory.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
