If you are looking for a “non-hike, hike” then this is the one for you. In total, this clocked in a 0.2 miles total (and that was walking back and forth to see the falls from multiple angels.)

Hike Report

This hike was originally completed on July 10, 2017.

We made a stop at Buttermilk falls as my first check off for the Indian Lake 4-3-2-1 Way Challenge. What a way to start. The falls were roaring! We spent about a half hour just sitting and listening to falls, and it was so peaceful. Not in peak season, this would be a great place to bring a book and sit for awhile.

I have done this “hike” before, and I remember there been a lot of people there. It was nice this time to basically have the place to ourselves to just enjoy for a bit.

Rating

I gave this an 8 of out 10. It was beautiful today, though I could see that rating going lower if it was very busy as its likely a popular hike due to the falls and the ease to arrive at the destination.

Happy Hiking Friends!
