Crabtree Falls Parking Lot

"2 lots, upper and lower. Small lots. Lots fill up quickly. Go early or late in the day. Parking fee is $3 per vehicle. Bathrooms are permanent 'outhouses' but are fairly clean and maintained. The hike is not for out of shape dads or bad knees! The trail and falls are worth the trip and the effort!"

"Great place for a family hike. Parking lot has 20-30 spots, so get there early. Basic bathroom facilities at lot ( no running water). Trail is wide and easy to follow, keeping site of the falls the entire way up. 1.7 miles to the top, r/t ~3.4 miles. Lots of steps, and it’s fairly steep the whole way up. Plenty of guardrails and good views. Please keep in mind that while you can see the water the whole way, there are no places to actually play around in the water (very steep and slippery, and a lot of signs telling you not to). All in all it was a fun hike for the family, and one we will do again. I’d recommend going early as it can get crowded quickly."

"There was not enough parking for how crowded it was, we had to park on the side of the road along with many others. The other thing I didn't care for was there were a lot of steps. Some would prefer this, but I prefer dirt and rocks. The falls were nice, you could see them a good portion of the trail. The trail was shaded most of the way so it wasn't hot. The beginning of the trail would be easy for anyone to see the lower part of the falls. The trail had a good amount of railings for safety reasons. Lots of kids were able to make the hike."

"Beautiful falls (since there are multiple big and small ones on the way to the top). Trail starts at the parking lot that can accommodate around 30 vehicles, has a restroom (no water, so bring hand sanitizer), trash bins and picnic tables. Trail leads to first fall within 500 ft then it takes you uphill with lots of stairs and rock steps to quickly gain elevation. On the way you get treated with many small and big waterfalls. I would say it's an easy to moderate climb with nice waterfalls."

"Enjoyed the waterfalls! This trail is VERY crowded. Lots of people with pets. This is a 3.4 mile round trip to the very top. But you don't have to hike to see the lower level waterfalls, they are near the upper level parking lot. Definitely beautiful and worth the effort of climbing up."
