Snow Creek Falls Trail #189

Snow Creek Falls Trail #189 is a short and quick hike that leads to two beautiful Snow Creek waterfalls. This is a perfect opportunity for someone to visit several different sites in Boundary County in one day. 

From the trailhead, the trail makes a gradual descent into the Snow Creek drainage. You will come to a fork in the trail, the left branch takes you to the lower falls while the right branch will take you to the upper falls. Both waterfalls and hikes are beautiful and well worth visiting!

Parking: There is room for several cars to park on the left side of the road in a large turnout just before the trailhead.
