Moul Falls Trail

Route Description for Moul Falls Trail

While the Moul Falls Trail can certainly be enjoyed by hikers of all ages and skill levels, there are a few things to keep in mind when setting out on this hike. The trail leads to an amazing viewpoint that looks out onto the falls but if you want to get the full experience, you will need to make your way down a steep and slippery section of trail to reach the water’s edge. Take caution if you want to head behind the falls to relax in the misty atmosphere of the cave, and watch your footing on the wet rocky terrain. Additionally, black bears are sometimes seen in the area, so remember to bring bear spray and make plenty of noise along the trail.

The route sets out from the parking area off Clearwater Valley Road and immediately heads into the forest in a westward direction. The trail itself is well-maintained and meanders through the pleasant forest atmosphere until you reach the viewpoint looking out onto the falls. From here you can watch the torrents of water rush over the edge of the falls and crash onto the rocks below or make the steep descent to get to the edge of the water. From here, you will be able to fully experience the power of the Moul Falls, as you hike in behind the cascading water to explore the small cave in behind. After spending some time exploring the area, carefully make your way back up to the main trail and work your way through the forest to return to the parking area.
