We visited Crabtree on 8/15/2022. What a beautiful waterfall! The water cascades 60ft down the mountain side. There is a wooden bridge from which hikers can admire the scenic falls. The hike is a moderate 2.6 miles roundtrip. We clocked about 3.5miles. We hiked the trail counterclockwise. Lots of tree roots along the way and about 577 ft elevation increase. It is a lovely, wooded trail with stone steps, bridges, a creek and an overlook. We hiked the loop. It was a pleasant hike until it started to rain, and we had to rush back to the car. I highly recommend this hike and this fall.
