Tips

Hiking

Not big enough to swim in, but definitely cool to see! The Maiden pools are a collection of small indentations of sitting water. Depending on the season the entire area can be covered in water, which in my opinion is not as exciting!

Running

Above the Maiden Falls are the Maiden Pools – the trail goes above the pools, and it requires some off trail walking to get down to them – use your discretion and be aware that walking off trail can permanently damage habitats. Once at the pools, be very cautious of flash flooding possibilities (the only way down is over the falls), and take care not to go near the edge ... it's a long way down. Act responsibly, make good decision, enjoy.
