Confirmed from Letort Falls Park'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.
Popular creek featuring waterfalls, swimming and fishing.
What runners say about Letort Falls Park
“Beautiful park with medium size waterfall, a peaceful place and very lovely.”
“Beautiful park with medium size waterfall, a peaceful place and very lovely.”
It's more of a stream than a falls. I think folks use it mainly for kayaking,tubing, and fishing. The little falls is at the right under the little bridge. Have to walk back over the main bridge to get to it.
I gave it 4 stars only because there are no amenities here. Nice boat launch and small waterfalls along with ample room to play in the creek with dogs and or children. Huge field that my furbaby and I played ball in off leash.
Cute little river and waterfall. Water is shallow enough to walk in, but just be careful with the rocks. If you don't have thick calluses then your feet will hurt a bit.
A beautiful little waterfall and place to dock to float the water trail 😍
