Hiking

Although not as famous as the Widow's Creek Falls, down stream, Upper Widow's Creek Falls has its own allure that makes it just as majestic. Split by a huge boulder, this double waterfall has a picture-perfect appeal that makes the strenuous hike worth it, as it offers a more intimate and tranquil experience. It is just north of Campsite A, but all backpackers must register and pay at the backpack parking area before camping overnight.
