High Falls near Gorges State Park is a minimally trafficked trail compared to a lot of its neighbors. The hike is relatively easy until the end with a steep decline and then a basic stream crossing.

I had this entire spot to myself for over an hour and it was so magical. I did visit during the week so I would highly recommend if you're able to. The water is a little so so but I did take a dip because when in Rome.

The parking for this is along a gravel road (there really isn't a parking lot). You will start on an old logging road and then it will turn into trail.

If you are looking for more exploration, there are many waterfalls in this area that are lesser known!
