  • We made a stop at Texas Falls Recreation Area while passing by. There's a small parking area right by the falls or additional parking a little up the road by the picnic area. A footbridge leads...

  • I absolutely love it here, every time I go. The falls are gorgeous, the stream is wide, the glacial water dug-outs on the huge boulders are incredible to see, and the hiking trails are nice and easy. Longest trail is only about a mile and fairly flat, so wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a challenging hike. Also worth noting the hikes take you away from the water. It's lovely, though! Would definitely recommend. The viewing spots are great for pictures. Be prepared for a crowd on a hot day.
  • Beautiful, short and easy hike with wonderful views of small feeder brooks that lead into the main falls. Well kept trail with bridges over mucky parts and the blazes on the trees are clearly marked. Many pull offs along the road past the main trail for lunches and a few options for primitive camping that are right along the water. The falls are spectacular and powerful to stand beside.
  • Worth the detour off Route 100 to check it out. We went on a rainy Sunday afternoon in September and there were about a dozen others roaming around as well. We didn't do any hiking (this time); just explored around the falls and we all enjoyed it. There IS a bathroom across the road/ near the parking, but it was rather gross at the time (always?). The parking seemed sufficient for the amount of visitors that day.
  • Nice little set of powerful falls (we were there after some rain) carving through the rock. When you stand in the bridge you can feel the vibration! Glad we decided to check it out.
  • A fantastic and magical gem to explore. I greatly enjoyed the bridge views as well as the lower views just nearby. Can't go wrong with a stunning roadside waterfall!
