From the small trailhead behind the Country Store, follow orange blazes past the Laurel Falls spur to Lost Falls. Continue on orange to the junction and turn left onto blue. Follow blue to the Talmadge Butler Boardwalk and use the boardwalk back toward the store, as described in the park hike sheet.

Country Store orange and blue trail loop via Laurel and Lost Falls

This is the park hike-sheet loop distance including Laurel and Lost Falls, not a one-way walk to Lost Falls. Distances are approximate; another park page locates Lost Falls about 1.5 miles from the store.

Moderate woodland trails with rugged sections and some climbing; the return includes the boardwalk option.

Where to start

The official hike sheet identifies a small three-car trailhead behind the Country Store. Use that marked trailhead rather than assuming store parking is unrestricted.

Timing & water

Lost Falls can be dry and difficult to recognize at low water. The park recommends spring or winter; all waterfalls are seasonal and rainfall dependent.

Before you go

Parking charges and day-hike reservation requirements are not stated in the reviewed sources.
