Cherry Creek Falls Trailhead Waterfall in Duvall, Washington
Cherry Creek Falls Trailhead in Duvall, Washington, offers a scenic hike of about 5 miles round-trip, filled with beautiful trees, mushrooms, and even a couple of abandoned cars along the path. This medium-difficulty trail is accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, though hikers should be prepared for some muddy patches and the occasional fallen tree to climb over. While the waterfall itself is described as gorgeous and shallow, the lack of a marked trailhead and limited roadside parking can be a drawback. Despite these minor inconveniences, the trail remains a popular spot for dog walkers, children, and nature enthusiasts seeking a peaceful forested walk with an amazing view of the falls.
