We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Todd Creek Falls 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.
Hiking area with a waterfall and a swimming hole.
What runners say about Todd Creek Falls
“Personally, as an enthusiastic hiker, I wouldn’t suggest this trail for those seeking breathtaking vistas, as there are definitely more stunning options nearby.”
“You can hear the creek along the trail, peaceful views and sounds.”
“It's a pretty easy walk; when you get to the falls there's a more direct, steeper route to them; if you walk a little further ahead it'll loop around to some stairs.”
6 Mile Rd or Maw Bridge Road to Brookbend Road. Go down Brookbend until you get to a little bridge under 3 sets of power lines. The trail head is just before the bridge if coming from Maw Bridge direction. It's pretty over grown in the beginning, lots of black raspberry bushes, so be careful of scratches.
Beautiful secluded falls. Easy, grassy hike that opens up to an expanse of boulders and knee to waist deep swimming area. You can get behind the falls too!
Beautiful cascading falls at the end of a fairly easy hike. You can hear the creek along the trail, peaceful views and sounds. The trailhead is a bit confusing because it’s unmarked. It starts at the bridge guardrail and wanders along beside the creek.
A simple and dog-friendly hike awaits those eager to enjoy nature without dedicating an entire day to it. While the trail doesn’t have any markers for navigation, once you find it, getting around is quite straightforward.
