Where Are Those Morgans: Wallace Falls State Park hike

Small Falls is a small, steep stream that works its way around boulders and fallen logs into the Wallace River, the first waterfall on the trail in Wallace Falls State Park near Gold Bar. From the parking lot, the trail first follows an access road under a power line, then enters the forest. At the fork, the Railroad Grade goes left; go right on the Woody Trail. After about 0.4 mile you reach the Small Falls interpretive trail and amphitheater. Return the same way, or continue on the Woody Trail to the Lower, Middle and Upper Wallace Falls.
