The trail is just over a half a mile but is not maintained, and narrow in many spots… but we’re not complaining! Make sure you wear good boots. We went on a dry day and there was some minor muddy spots. There is also some steep edges along the trail to the Kendron Flume descending from Ripley Falls.
