This trail features several small waterfalls along Covel Creek and small caves carved out of the rocky cliff. During cold winter spells this is a great trail to view icicles at the falls and along the cliffs. When temperatures begin to warm use caution as the ice begins to thaw.
The Covel Creek Falls Trail #228A climbs steadily along Covel Creek, then circles around the base of a cliff until it joins with Burley Mountain Trail #256. The trail was built by volunteers and can be hiked year round.
This trail is accessed by Covel Creek Trail #228.
At a Glance
| Current Conditions: | 7/3/24: There are two ways to access this trail. A trailhead off Forest Road 2801 is a steep incline for approximately .5 miles and then the trail will become somewhat level to creek. You must cross creek to access the connected trails to falls. The popular starting point is near Cipsus Learning Center off Forest Road 76. Both routes are accessible and no issues reported.
