    Hiking

    The Falling Waters Trail is a 2.6-mile round-trip hike to Little Haystack Mountain, known for its beautiful waterfalls. Starting from the Trailhead Parking Lot or Lafayette Campground, hikers first encounter Stairs Falls, followed by the 60-foot Swiftwater Falls. The highlight of this hike is the 80-foot Cloudland Falls, a fan-shaped waterfall visible from trail. The hike can continue to the Franconia Ridge Trail, but caution is advised as the terrain becomes more challenging and the trail becomes a bit more exposed.
