University Falls
11.8 miles from G.T.
moderate 5.6 miles R.T.
This is a popular trail despite efforts over the last few years to
discourage that popularity. Injuries and the resulting rescue efforts
cost the local emergency agencies dearly each summer when people fall on
the rocks, usually with the help of alcohol, and it isn’t an easy place
to get in and out of. There’s 4 waterslides on polished granite but the
lowest one doesn’t get much use because it has a more dangerous exit.
Please use caution here as people have died from falls on the rocks.
Directions:
Go 11.8 miles on Wentworth Springs Rd.
and park near the stout yellow gate at the east side of Quintette.
The trail
follows a road for .6 miles where you fork L on F.S. 12N67B for another
.9 miles to bear R (not straight) onto the ditch road that you follow
another .9 miles to take a spur trail L that takes you down to the
creek. The falls are downstream a short distance.
