Myrtle Falls Trail #195

The Myrtle Falls Trail #195 starts out as a wide paved trail that is handicap accessible for the first tenth of a mile. The trail crosses over Myrtle Creek with a bridge. After the creek crossing, the trail then narrows down, and the tread turns to dirt.

Beyond the bridge, it is an additional 0.4 miles to the overlook area where you can view the waterfall. At the waterfall outlook, the cliffs drop off abruptly, so please stay a safe distance from the edge.

General Information

The Myrtle Falls Trail #195 is approximately 0.5 miles long and is an easy trail.
