Hemlock Trail Updated February 4, 2025
0.4 Mile, more difficult hiking, white blazes
Access this trail at the northeast end of the picnic area, past the salt spring. Follow right and climb steeply up the hill into the old-growth hemlock forest. Just past the intersection with Woodland Trail, Hemlock Trail becomes a raised boardwalk. It follows the east rim of the gorge past Penny Rock to where a right spur leads to an observation platform overlooking the falls. Use extreme caution near cliffs and steep drop-offs. The trail continues, passing Overlook Trail and eventually ending at Fall Brook Trail.
