Red Tape/Notes: For more information on the trail, including directions, visit the DuPont State Forest website. Please note that you can also visit High Falls via a loop trail in this region – we didn’t do this so we don’t discuss it here, but if you have more time it’s an option.

What’s Nearby?: Triple Falls, Slickrock Falls, Looking Glass Rock

Though only a 12 foot drop, the width of Hooker Falls along with its open and scenic surroundings and the lovely wide pool at its base make for a peaceful and lovely stop. The trail is also short and easy, making this a nice option if you’re pressed for time. Unless you’re really pressed for time, if you take another ten minutes you can continue on and see Triple Falls, which is definitely worth a stop.
