About Glen Falls Trailhead
Glen Falls Trailhead is a short, popular waterfall hike rather than a bike trail, with reviewers praising multiple cascades, wildlife, and family-friendly views. The main recurring drawback is very limited parking at the trailhead along a road that some describe as tricky to pull in and out of. Terrain is natural and can be rough, muddy, steep, and slick in places, and reviewers note no restrooms or water on site.
