    Tips

    June 22, 2023

    Courthouse Falls used to see a lot more traffic before there were road closures leading to the trail head. If you have to park short of the trailhead, it is a simply (but uphill) road walk to the trailhead. There is an alternate route approaching the falls from Summey Cove Trail as well. The remoteness of these falls when you can't park at the close trailhead makes these falls even more worthwhile.
