Confirmed from Tryst 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.
Park featuring a waterfall alongside shelters, plus slides, swings and a playground.
What runners say about Tryst Falls Park
“The park was clean it has BBQ grills and tables under the trees plus it has mice pavilions.”
“The water was flowing nice over the rocky edge making for a beautiful site to see.”
Beautiful park. There are a couple of shelters with seasonal outhouses bathrooms. Other than the view there isn’t a whole lot of other amenities. No running water that I saw, no play grounds, semi paved but mostly dirt roads so there is a lot of dust in the air if there are a lot of cars driving by.
Beautiful place. No trail, just good for sight seeing and taking pictures of the beautiful waterfall. And great to have a picnic or barbeque with family or friends! :)
