We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Hinckston RD Waterfall 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.
Nature preserve featuring a roadside waterfall that's easy to find.
What runners say about Hinckston RD Waterfall
“Beautiful place to visit, depending on the route you made need 4x4, there is a paved road comes right to it, name escapes me at this time.”
What a precious hidden gem!! I can't believe am only 30 min away and never heard of this place until I was looking for the whipey trail and I got lost and somehow found myself at an intersection and low and behold this beauty was starring in front of me!!! Blissful paradise and you could stay there forever!!
Beautiful place to visit, depending on the route you made need 4x4, there is a paved road comes right to it, name escapes me at this time.....sry.
No need to hike to this one...it's visible from the road. Very beautiful. Step out and take it in ❤
Very cool spot right alongside the road. Easy to find and no hike needed at all. The water is very gorgeous, and the waterfall is decent sized! You will get in trouble for climbing around it, but it was worth it. Very good time and very impressive place!
