Winn Falls

View from the road to Herb Martyr Campground, or from the overlook on the Greenhouse Trail

The Forest Service page gives no distance to the overlook. Trail-length figures on a waterfall directory conflict (2.4 and 6.5 miles for the same falls) and were not used.

The Greenhouse Trail climbs steeply from the end of a 4-wheel-drive road. The Basin Trail is a moderate path from Forest Road 42. The Forest Service says the falls may be dry in early summer.

Where to start

The Greenhouse trailhead is at the end of FR 713, a 4-wheel-drive road off FR 42A. Forest Road 42 is gravel and suitable for passenger vehicles. A passenger car can instead reach Herb Martyr Campground and use the Basin Trail.

Timing & water

Forest Road 42 is open April through November and closes after snowstorms. The falls may be dry in early summer and freeze in winter.

Before you go

The Forest Service page lists no fee. It says mountain bikes and motorized equipment are not permitted in Wilderness.
