China Creek Falls Hike
The China Creek Falls Hike is a short 2.7 km out-and-back route that will take you through a charming stretch of forest to reach the site of a gushing waterfall. Although trails here are well-maintained, they can become a bit wet and muddy during the spring/autumn season, requiring good hiking footwear to keep your feet dry on the trail. A great family-friendly route, the serene setting around the falls is a fantastic place to set up for a picnic on the weekend.
