Ranger Falls Loop Trail

"This is a nice trail that loops around. Nice view of a small waterfall. However you must pay 5.00 to enter the park area. Highly suggest bringing cash and placing the pass in window. OTHERWISE YOU WILL ENJOY A 75.00 TICKET."

"At just over a mile of moderate trail you are rewarded with a beautiful waterfall. During the winter or after heavy rains, however you should be prepared to deal with some muddy areas on the trail. My GPS tracker said it was 1.06 miles from the sign, which is nearest the second parking area adjacent the restrooms inside Cliffside Lake Recreation Area."

"This was one of the most beautiful trails and falls I have hiked. Keep following the signs to the falls. The hike is well worth the hike. Bring folding chairs and stay awhile. Very peaceful and did not see anyone while we were there."

"The trailhead to rangers Falls is in the small parking lot with the restrooms on the backside of cliffside lake. The trailhead is clearly marked in the parking lot it is about 1.2 miles of fairly easy to more difficult hiking. there are many trees down over the trail that you must stuck under or crawl over and there are several seats and spring heads that run run across the trail so make sure to have on good shoes and hiking poles or a walking stick for the most part. At The Falls a large tree has fallen at the bottom which makes it difficult to go in and take a good picture but it's possible and then across the falls the trail continues and loops back in with a flat mountain trail. I found this hike today to be very pleasant not too tough at all and it was nice and secluded. There's not much to see but a green tunnel which is fine with me. I would caution that if you have any issues with knees or ankles or are unsteady or not an experienced hiker, to stay off this trail because there are some challenging obstacles including a lot of water on the trail which can make it quite muddy and slick and places."
