Thing to Do
Easy Hike Along Hornbecks Creek
NPS Photo/ J. Grier
An easy, one-mile out and back hike along the Lower Hornbecks Creek will lead visitors to a small waterfall, but the waterfall is only part of the view!
During the hike, there are multiple bridges allowing for beautiful views of the creek all along the trail.
This hike is easy and good for familes, as there is only 110 feet of total elevation gain and the trail is relatively wide and flat.
