TIME : 2-3 hours (one way)
TRAILHEAD : Begins at parking lot 0.5 miles down Indian River Road on right. Ends near the base of Indian River falls.

RECOMMENDED SEASON : Year round
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY : Easy. Climbs gradually. Easy to find, clear, in fair condition. Some muddy spots.  The last few hundred feet to the base of the falls is not a trail; more like boulder-hopping through the creek.
