Along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, hikers can park in the Big Meadows area at milepost 51.2. From there, the Lewis Springs Falls trailhead is near the amphitheater. This 2.8-mile loop is rated as moderate to difficult due to the slippery rocks, river crossing, and loose, rocky trail. The falls at the end of the trail are pretty, with an overlook area, and are a great place to stop for lunch or a rest before completing the loop back to the trailhead. The elevation gain during this hike is approximately 816 feet.
