A great hike for the family this waterfall has a series of observation
decks and spectacular awe factor. Davis Creek and Dodd Creek form Dukes Creek.
The falls drops approximately 200 feet. The remaking of this trail
has made this a pleasant afternoon for the whole family. Viewing
of the falls has been made better, safer and easier, by a well maintained,
wide traversing trail with steps on the steep sections . A 1.2 mile
walk one way, the trail is suitable for children and the able elderly.
Deep woods and beautiful ferns and fauna follow the trail making
it a relaxing and enjoyable trek into Dukes Creek Gorge. Once at
the Gorge, a series of boarded walkways connect three observation
decks where you'll have nice views of the waterfall on the three
creeks. If you choose not to walk the mile down to the gorge, you'll
find an observation deck less the 1/10th of a mile down the trail
which has a distant view of the falls. By driving an additional
half mile past the access to the top of the falls a ford across
Davis Creek is reached. Park just across the ford and walk upstream
100 yds to still another waterfall. Proceed 200 yards to reach the
top of the falls. A little further above Dukes Creek Falls is yet
another falls to check out.
