Cascade Falls

There are two trails that lead to and from the falls. The main trail is the easiest at 1 mile long with only mild changes in elevation. The Bluff Trail leaves and rejoins the main trail and can be quite challenging as it gets steep at points but will reward you with some outstanding vistas. This waterfall is well named as it cascades over the rocks.

Cascade Falls

The trail starts at the Bayview Trailhead on the back side of Bayview Campground. The round-trip to the falls is not in Desolation Wilderness, so no permit is needed. The trail is public, but Cascade Lake itself is a private lake. The trail is approximately one-mile each way, for a total of a two-mile round-trip. The trail is easy and mostly level, but rocky. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended.
