Tobacco Pouch Trail to Fall Creek Trail

Four different waterfalls, several streams, and cascades on one rugged loop in the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area. The trail follows the creek downstream to a crossing, then climbs past Fall Creek's cascades with plenty of steep sections and slick, rocky spots. The paths are narrow and not always clearly marked, so come ready for a real backcountry workout with big payoff views.

Trail Notes

• Difficulty: Hard · 1,473 ft elevation gain · about 3–3.5 hours
• What hikers say: stunning waterfalls and beautiful views for a great workout; steep elevation changes and narrow, unmarked paths are the main challenges.
• Good to know: dogs on leash are allowed. Reviewers recommend long pants and bug spray, and caution around slick rocks near the falls.
