Description: From the trailhead information shelter, take the shoreline trail heading south. After about one-half mile, you will see two rusty-colored water tanks sitting below the trail and a trail split. Take the left trail leading into Waterfall Canyon. The upper portion of the trail and the waterfall are on private land, but the landowner allows public access to see this beautiful area. Please respect private property rights. As you enter the canyon, a canopy of trees and the sound of rushing water welcome you. At the creek, you come to the first of two bridge crossings. As soon as you cross the first bridge take a left and follow the creek. Soon you encounter the next bridge and the trail becomes less distinct as you hike along the water's edge. If you lose the trail, just stay near the creek and make your way over the river rocks. The 200-foot waterfall is spectacular.
Directions: In Ogden, go to the top of 29th Street. There is a large parking lot and information shelter. Take the Shoreline Trail, which will take you to the trail split for the Waterfall Trail.
