You can reach Fossil Creek Waterfall via the short, one-mile Waterfall Trail that will lead to the creek and the natural waterfall. Once there, reap the rewards of your journey by swimming in some of the most refreshing waters in the state. The space is usually secluded and offers picturesque sights to just relax and enjoy. If the thrill of the waterfall is too fast paced for you, head to one of the crystal-clear swimming holes just a ways off. Fossil Creek Waterfall and the surrounding area are open to the public from April to October and are available solely for day use and with a reserved permit.
