Confirmed from Waterfalls on Karst Climb Trail'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.
What runners say about Waterfalls on Karst Climb Trail
“Spring time wild flowers were beautiful alongside higher flows from recent rain.”
Fun trail with a few off shoots. Kid friendly. We didn't go the whole way but we still saw a couple little waterfalls.
This is a very short trail. The waterfalls were neat to explore. We found some salamander babies in the stream.
Nice trail. No waterfall. Probably best to wait until after a heavy rain.
A wonderful hike along a small tributary. Spring time wild flowers were beautiful alongside higher flows from recent rain.
Trail conditions & character
“It was a little hard to get to the waterfall because the floor was so muddy and slippery .”
