Great for a short hike to a beautiful small water fall. There is some rough areas with rocks and roots and uphill on the way back, there are benches along the way so you can take a break if needed. If you're close Otter Falls is definitely worth the effort. Other trails are available here as well.

This place was a ton of fun, I ran up and down the hill here. It's a great place for watching the river flow, and I even found rocks that have different colors in them as well. Anyways I would bring the family around here, it's free and great view

A short walk to a good payoff. Is all downhill to the falls, but the falls and creek were stunning. The trail itself is nothing special, just a means to access the water. But a great little spot to check out and spend an hour

Otter Falls won't disappoint. About 20 min. from Boone. Getting down to the falls is a beautiful walk descending a few hundred feet rather quickly. Coming back up will test your cardio, however. You can walk downstream to enjoy more views and wading pools. I'm glad we did it.

I enjoyed this hike. I suspect it would be prettier after some rain. Also, be prepared to climb rocks if you want to go further than just to the falls.

Great hike with our 6 and 3 year olds. Not too treacherous. Follow wide path until you reach wooden stairs for Waterfall area. Bring suits or water shoes to wade in the water.

What a cute trail to a fun river and waterfall! It’s definitely steep and you walk down to the river but it’s a short hike so despite saying strenuous if you pace yourself anyone can make it. On a hot day it looks like it’d be a lot of fun to dip in the water or play down there. It’s definitely worth checking out!

This trail is pretty well marked with good signs at the entrance, a map at the lot, and frequent tree markers. There are a few loops here. I went around all of them and it didn't take more than an hour. The path is a cleared dirt walkway with some roots and a section by the river with rocks. The toughest part is just the elevation change. The main falls can be found in the orange loop which was also my favorite portion. I would highly recommend for an easy hike and beautiful view. Enjoy!
