Hen Wallow Creek, only two feet wide at the top of the falls, fans out to 20 feet at the base of the falls. The waterfall is 90 feet high. Salamanders can be found in the water and the moss at the bottom of the falls.
The waterfall is located on a short side trail off Gabes Mountain Trail. There is a wooden sign posted at the turn for this side trail. The short trail down to the waterfall is very steep-sturdy hiking shoes are recommended. Carry drinking water with you. Pets and bicycles are prohibited on the trail. The roundtrip distance to the waterfall is 4.4 miles and the hike is generally considered moderate in difficulty. It takes about 3-4 hours to hike to the waterfall and back.
