Confirmed from Vickery Creek Waterfall'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.
Easy nature walk featuring a creek with waterfalls as well as a bridge and trails.

“A fabulous piece of history Incredible waterfall Great easy, moderate & advanced hiking Awesome paking Bathroom & attendants Beautiful town & eateries”
“The views are incredible, there weren’t that many people when I went on a Monday afternoon, it felt like a very peaceful and quiet place to relax my mind and soul.”
“We thought it was an easy trail to navigate also.”
This place is so beautiful! I spent hours listening to the beautiful sound of their gigantic waterfall and walked along their incredibly well preserved nature trail.
I really enjoyed walking this trail and wading in the water. It's very scenic and peaceful. I loved just sitting and watching the waterfall. There is a walking trail as well which was nice exercise. They had tables and some people had a nice picnic lunch.
I went on weekend, It was a short hike from the parking lot to the creek waterfalls. On the bridge way down, it’s peaceful to sit, relax and enjoy the view. Nice hike to the waterfalls, if interested can get down to the water flow or just sit on top for relaxation.
What a beautiful waterfall and quick nature walk with the family. We loved this rustic outdoor adventure. There was access for swimming and plenty of photo worthy sports. We thought it was an easy trail to navigate also. My kids had a great time too! Dog and kid friendly area.

“We visited on a Saturday so the parking was a little rough but that may be due to the wedding and not normal crowd volume.”
“They have bathrooms in the entrance before the trail as well, you can bring little kids here and they will have a place to go to the bathroom if need be.”
“The short hike is easy and perfect for kids, and it’s also pet-friendly .”
