There is a small little pull
Off for parking , can fit maybe 3-4 cars . There is a sign stating that the gorge trail is open , but the main falls are closed. From what we experienced , it seemed like the big fall was very accessible. It is a very short and sweet ‘hike’ .. a little steep. The falls and area there beneath is lovely! Worth it if you want a quick little hike . The waterfall is a shelf waterfall so if you’re careful you can safely climb up halfway without fear of getting hurt from falling debris from the water .
There is a little water hole below that you could swim in I’m sure !
not handicap/wheelchair accessible.

A short but steep trail some parts only enough room for one. Reminds me of Waihou Spring hike on Maui, but this one has a decent waterfall at the end. Definitely worth the hike down to check out the falls.

You would never guess from the entrance that there is a great trail leading to a spectacular waterfall. Look out for poison ivy off the trail. Once you make it down the hill make sure to turn right in the fork on the trail. The trail to the left ends up no where and not near the waterfall. Trail to the right you will pass a warning about poison ivy off the trail. Currently(mid May) the amount of water have cut off the trail, but you can still reach the waterfall at the end of the trail. There is even a rope to the right side of the waterfall to climb a bit.

The short hike is definitely worth the view of the falls. The trail is somewhat narrow and has a few spots that could be slick.

Beautiful area. Be initial drop is about 200 feet and the ground is a little loose going down, so I won't probably go on a wet day. Otherwise the trail is beautiful and lush green in June. The waterfall in the end is gorgeous too. There is poison ivy everywhere with signs posted so I wouldn't go off trail much. Also the other side of the creek is a private property that is out of bounds.

A short (half a mile or so) but beautiful trail that leads you down to a couple of hidden waterfalls running around Gulf Creek right in the middle of a suburban housing development. The parking area can be hard to miss as it is between two mailboxes off of E Shore Circle. You follow the steep trail down to the creek and then upstream to check out the waterfalls from the base. On your way back up at the kiosk, walk to the right for about 100 yards and you can get a great view of the falls from the top of the gorge.

Parking was about 1/4 mile from trail head...short walk through field has nice "trail" spots to lookout at entire falls

I really like these falls. You can walk right up to them. Beautiful and tall. The hike back up is a bit treacherous. Very steep. Lots of poison ivy. Sharp rocks. I really enjoy these falls though

Cool place to go in the fall, be careful not to get lost, one way in one way out scenario.

amazing view. worth the wait until it was hot and hasn’t been rainy in a while so that the trail is not slippery. hard to find, but found it eventually… funny, the path to the trail was overgrown when we went in but someone cut it while we were in there hahahah. definitely short and sweet but well worth it, we were the only ones there :)

I cant believe how beautiful this waterfall is! Such a gem in the middle of our new neighborhood. Only saw one person there with their dog. The hill down/back is very steep, and if you do not have appropriate footwear i.e. chacos, grips, boots, I would not recommend. Waterproof/water shoes are best. Do not go when wet. Small little parking spot on side of the road. Read the signs and you will find it. Such a treasure in the middle of the forest!

Such an AMAZING place and a GORGEOUS waterfall!! This trail is on private property, but it is open to the public thanks to the landowner. Please obey any of the signs there so we dont lose access to this beauty! When you first get there, you will see a small pulloff that will fit about 3 cars. The pulloff faces a good sized field. You will see a worn down path through the field that will take you to the trail to the falls. The trail is a little steep and narrow in some spots but if you take your time, its well worth it and can be walked in about 10-15 minutes. If you go after a good rain, or in the spring, you will see some bonus falls on the gorge walls. The main falls are absolutely gorgeous and I couldnt get enough of the view! Be mindful of the poison ivy!

Beautiful location. Watch for slippery rocks along the way.

Really nice spot. Very small sign by the parking area. Hardly a trickle of water right now, but very pretty.

Gorgeous view, breathtaking! Seriously steep trail on way down, slippery, and lots of loose rock. Not for little ones!

Short hike with big payoff. Not very crowded but can get that way fast since the trail is short and narrow.

Wonderful waterfall you can get very close to. Quiet woods and saw a seasonal waterfall.
