Description

This trail starts from the Takakkaw Falls parking area and heads south along the river past the restrooms. Continue along the river to the bridge. Then you'll pass along the the paved path to the base of the falls. The trail is paved and flat the whole time so it is great for families. We saw a lot of people playing on the rocks near the base of the falls as well.
