Franklin Falls

Franklin Falls Trail #1036

The one-mile trail gives a two-mile return trip when the normal trailhead is reachable. Winter road approaches add substantial distance.

A gradual climb leads to a steep, slippery final descent toward the falls.

Where to start

Use the three trailhead lots on the one-way road near Denny Creek Campground. Winter road closure prevents normal lot access.

Timing & water

The current page says the winter Sno-Park will not operate and FR 58 is closed to motor vehicles in winter. Do not enter the falls basin in winter because of avalanche danger.
