Confirmed from True's Ledges Natural Area'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.
Scenic spot for hiking and swimming, featuring pools, rivers and waterfalls.
What runners say about True's Ledges Natural Area
“This isn’t a hiking trail, so much as it is a few minutes walk to the water, it is beautiful and peaceful.”
“This small natural area provides a quick easy hike and a swimming hole formed on the gorge of a small brook.”
This natural area offers a nice little walk in the woods. Understand, this review is probably longer than the main trail. But, some side spurs take you out to some precarious but beautiful overlooks. The path heading west offers you a much more technical adventure.
Found this gem today, what a beauty. This trail is not for the faint of heart or for the unbalanced. Small children should be kept safely with adults. The views of the falls are incredible and on a hot day, a trip down to the water is worth it! Watch out for the slippery rocks!
This small natural area provides a quick easy hike and a swimming hole formed on the gorge of a small brook. The area is clean and is a good opportunity for a quick dip in the warm months.
Quiet little trail with beautiful falls. Be careful with dogs and children as there are steep drop-offs!
