Know Before You Go:

  • This is one of the few California waterfalls that flows year-round.

  • This spot is extremely popular so expect crowds and long lines to enter the park on weekends and during the summer months - arriving early or late in the day is best.

  • Park in the Lake lot to avoid fighting for a spot and reach the falls via the Rim Trail instead.

  • Please be careful when climbing on the rocks around the base of the falls, they are usually wet and slippery from the spray.

  • Dogs are not allowed on the trail.
