Rocky Falls Spur Trail

This 0.1-mile connector delivers hikers to Rocky Falls in a matter of minutes, making it one of the shortest named trails in the park. The spur branches from a larger trail system to provide quick access to the waterfall viewpoint. Expect minimal elevation change and a walk brief enough that most visitors treat it as an extension of their main hike rather than a destination itself.
