Hike Description:


From the north end of the parking lot, pick up the Duggers Creek Trail that leads up to a bridge over the creek below the waterfall. 
 

It's a small creek so best to visit after a good rain.


There are some scenic cascades just downstream of the bridge.


The trail continues to the visitor center and the trails to access Linville Falls.
