Upper North Falls

Upper North Falls is a pretty compact but rectangular-shaped 50ft waterfall. This waterfall is easily reached after a short walk of about 0.2 miles (5 minutes or so) along the creek responsible for the falls itself. The trail to the falls begins by crossing the bridge near the trailhead (see directions below) before reaching a fork. Turn right at this fork and go under the bridge.

It's this part of the trail that might be prone to closure if the creek is running too high and flooding the trail. Fortunately for us, it wasn't closed and we were able to continue a few minutes further upstream to the view of the falls that you see above. Of all the waterfalls on the Trail of Ten Falls, this is the only one where you must hike out-and-back to see it so when you're done seeing the falls, you have to backtrack.

Directions: You can get here by parking at the North Falls car park along Hwy 214 towards the northern side of the park (just north of the road bridge going over the creek).
