Confirmed from Twin Falls' 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.
Greenbelt hiking area featuring waterfalls and a creek, plus swimming and a rope swing.
What runners say about Twin Falls
“Although there was no water flowing this time, you can still imagine how beautiful it would be after a good rain.”
“Excellent walk in the shade inc r you get past the rock boulders at the top of the Hill.”
Beautiful spot. Easy hike for the kids. Great swimming. This was the kids favorite spot on our trip. Our car window and the car next to us were smashed in when we got back. Don’t leave valuables in the car.
This was my first of many more trips to this location. Once you arrive you are welcomed by a number of hiking paths. You will hike quite a bit but it is well worth your efforts in the end. Initially my group hiked to a mid point along the route and we hung out there for an hour or so.
Love everything about this hike! There are always a lot of people here but all just having fun in the water. Find a place to sit in the creek along the way or hike however long you want. The trails are not too steep but some places you might need a little traction.
Beautiful spot for photos, even without water! A small hike is required to get to the falls area, but it's shaded and not too intense.
