    Hiking

    There are a lot of waterfalls in the Green River Game Lands, and Little Bradley Falls happens to be the most visited of all of them. It is less than a mile from the trailhead to the waterfall, and there are rapids, cascades, and tiny falls all along the trail, which follows a branch of Cove Creek running down from the falls.

    The falls, themselves, are a three-step set of falls flowing into a large pool at the bottom. It's likely there will be other people on the trail while you are out hiking.

    The Little Bradley Falls Trail offers an easy hiking experience, perfect for a quick outing. You will cover 1.8 miles (2.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 126 feet (38 metres), taking about 46 minutes to complete. As you hike, you will follow Cove Creek through a dense hardwood forest, enjoying the sounds of the water and keeping an eye out for wildflowers. The highlight is the multi-tiered Little Bradley Falls, plunging into a large pool.

    Be prepared for varied terrain on this route, which can include occasional mud, slick rocks, and roots. Recent conditions have also left some downed trees and a landslide section, so you should navigate carefully. You will encounter two to three stream crossings over Cove Creek; these can be tricky and may involve water up to your ankles or knees, especially after rain.

    This out-and-back trail is located within the Green River Game Lands, offering a peaceful natural escape. The old chimney ruins you pass are a unique landmark on your approach to the main waterfall. The falls themselves are a beautiful sight, making this a rewarding short hike for anyone looking to enjoy a scenic natural feature.
