Description

Kings Creek Cascades is a massive whitewater cascade that rushes steeply down the rock for almost a quarter mile, dropping over 200 feet as it goes.

Kings Creek Cascades Foot Trail is the way to see Kings Creek Cascades. This narrow, steep stair-step trail in the rock, runs along the entire length of the cascades, right next to them.

Half-Day Hike: From a well marked trailhead along the park road, Kings Creek Cascades is visited by hiking the 2.5 mile Kings Creek Falls Out and Back route.

Exhilarating hike going up rock stairs along the cascading creek. It was powerful after seeing the falls below.
