Hike Description:

Anglin Falls Trail picks up at the end of the parking lot and follows Anglin Fork upstream to the waterfall.

The trail ends in just under 3/4 mile at the base.

It's possible to climb up and walk behind the waterfall.

The water level was way up when we visited and there was a nice rainbow at the base.
