Confirmed from Money Brook 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.
What runners say about Money Brook Falls Trailhead
This is a nice hike. Not a lot of water flowing through on the day of our visit but we were able to climb right up the falls. Limited amount of parking along Notch Road. This is an out and back trail that's about 2 miles total. Down hill to the falls and then back up to the parking area.
Short hike to get to the falls. I thought it was a great little waterfall to sit and enjoy. Planning to stop back again next year!
Breathtaking location after a pretty strenuous hike for old people. Highlight of our vacation.
Parking for a few cars. Waterfall is 1 mile out and back. Elevation gain coming out.
