Parking Lot / Trailhead / Pavilion
The parking lot is massive which means there is plenty of room for parking. When you first get to the parking lot, you can turn right and find the pavilion. The trailhead we want to take is in the back right portion of the parking lot (pictured)
Trails
The trails are well marked and easy to follow. You can take White or Blue trail to get there. If you follow the White trail, you can follow it until it begins to bend into a solid turn. There are two benches with a path on the other side called “Peavine Falls Trail”. You can follow this trail or follow the White trail. Both ways down are a bit of a scramble down a steep incline. The trails are well marked with plenty of signs. Find a way down that you feel comfortable with.
Peavine Falls
Peavine Falls is a great waterfall to dip your head under. The pool is very shallow, and if you can get your kids there, is a great place for them to play!
Bonus: Viewing area
There is a handicap accessible viewing area as well as a few other non-handicap accessible areas on the way to the waterfall parking. It is located right on the road and you will easily see it.
