Kennedy Falls

This was a fun day trip adventure. Once you get past the mountain bike trails, the ground gets a bit more rugged, but I wouldn't call this a gruelling hike by any means. Elevation change was minor and the trail was well marked (just look for the orange tags on the trees and you won't need to worry about getting lost). There's a river to the east along most of the route and the majority of the trip runs North-South, so you'll always know your heading. The big cedar is a fun landmark, but the falls are the real treat. The falls are both energetic, yet peaceful, and part of me wishes I had brought supplies for a picnic as the location would lend itself well to a nice lunch. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this trail to those with mobility issues, but so long as you have decent shoes and don't mind a little mud and the occasional use of hands to navigate the few tricky spots, this is a pretty forgiving trail. I spent nearly 5 hours going out and back, as it is a lengthy route, but the shade from the trees helps and I definitely didn't need as much water as I thought. Bring snacks in case you get peckish.

Moderate hike that took us about 3.5 hrs. Definitely worth it. Get to be upclose to a gorgeous waterfall.

Nice intermediate hike to the fall! Longer hike but incline was not hard. Lots of things to see along the way. No problem with my 10 years old daughter.

Finding the start of the trail is not obvious, but once you park, walk down the big road and you should see a sign marking the start of the trail. There are orange markers along the trail but nothing else.

Great hike at an intermediate level. There’s not a huge elevation change but the second half of the trail can get more rough since there are streams of water you have to cross and more steep areas where you have climb carefully. Make sure you bring good shoes since the terrain can get rough and wet.

At the end, there is a beautiful waterfall. Definitely worth a sight.

This was a great, enjoyable hike. Probably not the best for your first hike. Some terrain , lots of rocks, trees to climb over or around. Some small muddy sections. Very forested for shade from the sun. Pay attention to trail markers. The water fall is lovely. Places to stop and picnic or just enjoy the sight and sound of the falls. . Go early if you don't want to wait in line for parking. We arrived approximately 11 30 am and waited about 20 to 30 minutes for a parking stall.

Great trail about 6km each way, well marked but a technical trail and very wet with multiple streams to pass over, but beautiful falls and a fun trail with 500m elevation change there and back. Overall all easy and fun!

This is a great hike even though it is a little more challenging than I expected. It is rated on All Trails at a moderate difficulty, but it is definitely a moderate + especially on bad weather days.

You need to be in decent shape to complete this trail in <3.5 hours. Some sites will tell you not to do it if you have knee or ankle problems and I agree with them, BUT... I completed it on a knee that has had two surgeries and an ankle that had one surgery. I am going to pay for it the next few days but it can be done, IF you have done a good job of rehabbing you broken joint.

Leave a trip plan with somone before you go, take lots of water, pack snacks or a lunch, wear good hiking or trail shoes and go for it.

Great hike about 4 to 5 hours, 10km return. Not too difficult and all in the shade. The outhouse by the parking is the only bathroom facility. You will trek through a few creeks, pass by a giant cedar tree that's over 600 years old a bit over half way and end up at the beautiful Kennedy Falls. Pack a light lunch and enjoy the scenery before heading back.
