    Hiking

    This trail is the easiest, most direct route to get close to Nugget Falls; it is paved, and considered ADA accessible.

    The ADA-accessible/paved trail ends short of the falls, but walkers can continue toward the base of the falls along a relatively level, rocky beach. Even from a distance, you'll hear the rumble and feel the spray of water tumbling down this waterfall, which is an impressive 377 feet (115 m) high.

    This path leads relatively flat to the Nugget Falls. He is asphalted almost everywhere. Only the last few meters goes over the beach. He can be mastered in about 30 minutes and you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the falls.

    Hiking

    Nugget Falls Trail is a 2 mile heavily trafficked trail. It leads along a lake, past viewpoints and the waterfall. Due to the low gradient and distance, the route is suitable for all levels of ability.
    Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash.
    The highlight is standing in the drizzle of the Nuggetfalls and taking photos 😂
