The entire Moss Glen Falls Trail clocks in around 4 miles. The out-and-back trail is relatively easy, although the climb to the top of the falls is a bit steep.

Follow the well marked trail into the forest. Be sure to stay on the trail to keep yourself safe and to preserve the nature around you.

Conditions near the top of the falls can be a little dangerous, especially if you stray from the trail to get a closer look. Tumbling 85 feet down the falls is certainly not worth risking.

Hiking the steep incline is the hardest part of this hike but it is worth the sweat. Views from the top of the trail are simply stunning.

Getting glimpses of the falls cascading down trough the foliage is a great bonus too. Moss Glen Falls is gorgeous from any angle.

Most people remember the fall as pictured here, surging down the rockface surrounded by lush, green vegetation. However, if you visit now, you’ll see a stunning frozen waterfall that will take your breath away. Don’t just take our word for it though, hike to Moss Glen Falls before the snow and ice melt away for a completely different falls experience.
