Confirmed from Dickerson Creek Falls Trailhead'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.
Hiking area featuring a kid-friendly trail leading to a waterfall.
What runners say about Dickerson Creek Falls Trailhead
“Very well-maintained trail with a little bit of hills and lots of scenery.”
“This was an absolute blast of a trail, we took the trail true the woods on the way in and it was stunning.”
It was a great time. The hike we took was very easy however, there are a lot of at your own risk off shoots. We took one of those and had an absolute blast...but it was definitely risky business.
Plenty of parking, trails had recently been maintained and we had an amazing family hike. Gorgeous area, friendly hikers, no sign of any encampments where we hiked. Highly recommend!
Beautiful place to hike with parking. The trail to the falls wasn't too bad. Slight incline going in to the park. Once you get to the falls is worth it.
Was a great medium difficulty hike. At least most of it was. It's basically uphill but at a decent ascend until you get to the top of the waterfall. If you want to go down, it's a treacherous trail that decends with rope to help you down. If you are physically able to do it, I highly recommend going down.
Trail conditions & character
“There are two routes to get to the waterfall; one is the main trail and the other is I think it used to be a logging trail or it looks like.”
“The hike to the falls has a few steep(er) parts, but for the most part is relatively easy.”
“Stroller friendly road or a winding trail are both options.”
“Plenty of parking, trails had recently been maintained and we had an amazing family hike.”
“My dog loves to stop at the creek along the way and go for a quick swim and run in the water”
