Kennedy Falls

Quite the hike to get there so be prepared with proper footwear, snacks and determination. This trail isn't for the faint of heart. Once you get there and see the beauty of these falls, you'll see it was all worth it.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve seen at the end of the trail. A very challenging hike, but definitely worth the effort!

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.

Beautiful waterfall, but go early. It's a 5-6hr hike despite what the sign said. Hiking shoes are mandatory if you plan to hike all the way to the waterfall. The trail is very straightforward if you follow the markers, but it's very steep and slippery in places. On a wet day there's also quite a few streams you will need to walk across. Don't search "kennedy falls" on google maps and use the recommended route as a GPS to get here. Parts of that suggested route don't exist as I found out the hard way. There are lots of detailed videos on youtube for how to actually get here.

A nice hike from the Fromme parking lot. Not a ton of elevation gain but definitely a nice place to go for a hike.

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!

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.

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. Amazing views of the falls. Go early as parking is scarce. Moderate trail with some technical parts. About 14km rt

Nice hike on a beautiful day. Is this really December? Lots of rocks and roots and stumps. Wish I would have brought hiking poles. Fantastic huge cedar tree. Kennedy Falls looking good
