Crabtree Falls

Crabtree Falls Trail is 2.5 miles in length and takes you to a very photogenic waterfall. The trail will mostly take you through a beautiful hardwood forest on your way to the falls. There are many ferns and wildflowers near the base of the falls, due to the water spray, which will also make the surrounding rocks wet, so it's advised to not climb on the rocks.

FYIs:
Arrive early to find parking. There are more spaces than most spots in the park but eventually after the grassy areas are taken up, you will not be able to find a spot! The parking is near the bottom of the falls.In early spring, large wasps and bees will be very busy. Snakes are also frequently seen on the trail so be careful. There are some steep stairs to climb, which may be very different to ascend and a but tricky to come back down from especially when holding heavy backpacks and leashed dogs.The wet rocks are VERY SLIPPERY!There are SEVERAL beautiful stopping points along the way up to the water fall. SOME are drenched from the spraying of the water from the falls so wear waterproof GRIP shoes!When reaching the middle of the falls where it flattens out a bit into small ponds and streams, you can cross the water and visit the other side and sit to have a snack. Moderate ascent to the top of the falls. (Stairs, winding paths, long stretches)
