Buttermilk Falls County Park

I should’ve read the reviews. I enjoy waterfalls. The falls are dried up now. I am sure this is a better place after a few rainy days or when snow is melting? Nevertheless it’s private and many deers. It’s close to the city.

Came upon this park the other day, unexpectedly, and decided to give it a try. We read that buttermilk falls was only a short 1.2 mile loop hike. Quick and easy. A wide open road begins the start of the trail with clear markings throughout. It will get a little steep in the beginning. Keep in mind that there are multiple trail heads at this park, so if you only want to see the falls, follow the Blue Trail. We noticed a lot of bugs on the hike, so definitely bring your bug spray. There was also a lookout point from which you can overlook the town. Totally worth the effort!

We had a great time on this hike and saw a lot of deer. This easy hike is very private and quiet, with stunning views! A lovely small waterfall. If you don't live too far away, it's well worth it.

Enjoyable hike, one or two good views, more easy than moderate, good for an afternoon activity. That being said however, the waterfall was dried up, and parts of the trail takes you through highways and is right on the side of private property. Overall it was okay.

Had a great day hiking here

This is a fun hike that's not too long or too strenuous but challenging enough so you feel pretty good when you're done. It takes me about 45 minutes. The photo I took was around 6pm and the sun is right in front of you at the lookout point and kind of blinding. But I did see four hawks flying about so I'd say it was worth it. :

I took my 65 yr old lady with me on this hike. I am in my 40s it wasn't to bad for myself but my lady had a very hard time getting up to the dry waterfall. We decided to continue on the blue trail and it is pretty steep and very rocky. Be careful especially of the big mountain boulders and the roots from the trees when walking can be very dangerous. We walked to the very top of the mountain. Breathtaking views. We walked the entire way 3.7 miles in total to the white trail and back out to the parking lot. Definitely worth it and fun, just be careful.

It's not the best park, the hike isnt the most comfortable, but it does have great views. If you go the day agyer good rain, the falls are pretty to see and relaxing to hear.

Great hiking trail, medium difficulty. Took about 35 minutes to reach the peak with a very curious dog by my side... meaning, you can probably reach the peak sooner if your partner is not sniffing all the rocks on the way up. The hiking trail has a lot of roots running through it, so be careful. Also, the trail can get muddy. Overall, a good hike, but not perfect.

Nice small County Park with easy to moderate trails. Waterfall that's running well in the spring or when there's enough rainfall. Good views at the top. Parking lot isn't big, so come early on the weekends.
