Description

Hobble Falls is a small waterfall, almost directly next to (but on a different stream from) the more notable Hemlock Falls. Unlike Hemlock Falls, which features one dramatic drop into a stone amphitheater, Hobble Falls features three smaller drops. Unfortunately, Hobble Falls is also partly obscured. While you can see it in its entirety, you will need to leave the main trail to get close enough to see it well.

While Hobble Falls is nice, it lives in the shadow of Hemlock Falls and is often overlooked.

Parking

The main parking area is on South Orange Avenue. It can only be reached by driving eastbound (from the Livingston area). The parking area only holds about 10 cars and fills up quickly. Alternate parking can be found at Tulip Springs.

Directions

1. Park at the Hemlock Falls parking area on South Orange Avenue and take the obvious trail.
2. Almost immediately the Yellow Trail merges from the right. Continue straight, now on the Yellow Trail.
3. At the obvious directory turn left.
4. Continue straight until you reach Hobble Falls

The directions are nearly the same if parking at the Tulip Springs lot. If you park there, take the Yellow Trail across the street from the parking area and follow it to the directory mentioned in Step 3 above.
