Discover the Beauty of Cedar Creek Falls

Beautiful trail, worth the hike. It's easy going down. Definitely need to make some stops going back up. You cross 3 streams before the waterfall. Saw a lot of large spiders near the waterfall on the rocks, so be cautious, leaving your belongs on the floor. Once your shoes get wet, they do become slippery. I recommend good hiking shoes and switch to water shoes before the first creek. As more people pass, the rocks get more slippery. Go early it gets crowded fast. We started at 7am and there was a handful of people. So we were able to enjoy it a bit and take pics without too many people there. Bring plenty of water and walking sticks help. 3 miles to water fall.

My first time going to the waterfall / hiking trail (4.30.23) and I absolutely loved it. I suggest getting there as early as possible because the temperature picks up faster. The place has lots of plants, and the scenic is breathtaking. Also, manage the water wisely. It takes 1 hour to get to the waterfall - listed as easy. There are 3 water creeks to go through until reaching the waterfall. Make sure to bring water shoes. I learned my lesson in a hard way! Going up was more strenuous. Rangers are building shades and they are necessary coming back. Be careful when bringing your furry friend especially the short nose breeds.

Cedar Creek Falls is undoubtedly one of the best hiking destinations to visit. The total 4-mile hike (2 miles each way) offers a fantastic workout and is enjoyable for people of all ages. The breathtaking waterfall at the end of the trail is a sight to behold, and we couldn't resist taking a refreshing plunge into its crystal-clear waters. We highly recommend this experience to everyone looking for an adventure in nature.

Did the hike on 04-16-2023 for the first time. The hike is listed as moderate to strenuous but it’s really easy to moderate, strenuous it may be only in May-September due to heat. Well designed and not much of an incline. Lots and lots of beautiful and different wildflowers. We saw desert lilies coming out, what a beauty. There’s so much water in SoCal this year (last time it was like that was 1997-1998) that the waterfall is just magnificent! At this time, there are 3 pretty fast water crossings ~20ft wide so I suggest to bring reef shoes/sandals and change into them at the 1st water crossing - then wear them until the last crossing on the way back. All this water will subside by June of course.

Did this hike on 3-19-23 the water is pretty high. There are 4 water crossings that are unavoidable and the water on me was about thigh high (I'm 6 foot). The current is also pretty strong so keep that in mind. That being said this hike is beautiful. The waterfall is bigger than I have seen in a long time.
