Benton Falls Hike

Reviewed By VicandVonaK - Union Grove, United States

Fairly busy area well kept and clean. Made the hike to the Falls. The trail was rather muddy in places due to the recent rains, but the Falls were full and beautiful. The hike is easy up to the Falls area. There are some steps down and uneven terrain to get to the water. I would say it is moderate. Not a trail that you want to take a stroller on though. Lots of large rocks in the walking path and washout ditches in other areas. Was fortunate to see the copperhead snake in the weeds before I stepped on it.
