What a fabulous place for filming, hiking, walking, bird watching, nature, soaking in the forest....Awesome place. Highly recommend hiking all 10 falls it is an easy hike. Start from the South Falls and loop it clockwise, so many falls so many views. Everyone seems so happy here, no grouchy people anywhere.

I came here with my wife to hike to as many waterfalls as we could. We ended the day with 7 overall. The weather the day we came was pretty rough, 45-50, non-stop raining and breezy. But that didn’t make the sights any less amazing. We first stopped at the South Falls which was amazing. You could walk behind the falls and feel the power of them. Next we drove to the Winter Falls hiking trail. This is a VERY small parking lot (maybe 8 spots). We did an out and back hike that took us to five waterfalls. Overall, this place was amazing. Any one waterfall could have been a pretty awesome day. See waterfall after waterfall, even better.

Beautiful place and just a quite hike. Close enough but still far enough. A fairly simple hike if you think about it. Kid friendly for some part

The Trail of Ten Falls is one of the best hikes I’ve ever done in my lifeeee!! ADORED every second. Will recommend to everyone

I cannot describe what a wonderful experience I had here. My boyfriend and I were on a road trip to the coast and this was our first stop. We did the 10 Waterfalls hike and I was amazed during every second of it. The fact that we were able to walk behind so many of them just made me feel like I could really experience it. And all the moss everywhere was a dream. The trail is good with only 1 steep downhill and then steps to get back up or visa versa depending on how you hike it. The bathrooms were clean and even warm. They had many different kinds of buildings to explore, we didn't but you can easily spend a whole day there. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves waterfalls.
