A wonderful family-friendly Waterfall hike. This Paved Trail travels 1.3 miles one way, and drops you off at the 80 foot high Laurel Falls. This is a great hike for those with strollers, and children.
Short Hike: Parking at trailhead - take the Laurel Falls Trail.
Family Friendly: Paved Trail.
Gem Type: Waterfall

Minor Issues
Update
Mostly Dry - The trail is clear and in great shape until 1/4mi or so from the end. At that point the trail is closed due to damage from a previous forest fire. Even though you can't go to all the way to chimney top there's still a great overlook/view at the end and I highly recommend the trail. Just don't be caught by surprise or too disappointed by the closure of the end portion of the trail.

All Clear
Update
Mostly Dry - Minor spots of easily avoidable mud. Very disappointed to see how many people had used the bathroom directly beside the trail. Many of the overlooks had TP scattered about. Follow park rules, people. 200' from the trail, bury it 6", and pack out your TP!
