This is a beautiful waterfall that can be seen after a short snowshoe trek that is magnificent in the winter.

Starting at the Sherwood Trailhead, follow the sign towards Tamanwas Falls. You will walk through the woods towards the river, and cross it on the log bridge. After crossing the creek, you will begin to head uphill. Keep going this way through the woods for nearly 2 miles, and you will reach the 150 foot falls. You can explore around here and find the best angle for a photo op, but I find that the best opportunity is right on the trail. Return back the same way you came.

Activity Notes

Step into a winter wonderland on this snowshoe hike with She, They Us! She, They, Us is an inclusive and welcoming community of women, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming folx interested in the outdoors.

Starting from the Tamanawas Falls trailhead, we'll snowshoe to the falls and back. Total distance out & back is 3.5 miles with about 580 feet in elevation gain. This is a great beginner snowshoe trail if snowshoeing is a new-to-you activity! 

Please bring your own snowshoes or rent a pair for this event. If you're not sure where to rent snowshoes, reach out to me and I could point you in a few directions. I also ask that you bring trekking poles and microspikes (or another similar traction device) because winter weather can be unpredictable & it's best to be prepared for all situations. 

We'll meet at the MMC at 7:30am for carpools & leave by 7:45am. We should arrive at the trailhead around 9:15am.
