Hooker Falls

Great for:

While Hooker Falls stands only 12 feet high, its wide drop into a pool creates a beautiful setting and a great spot for splashing around on hot summer days.

Things to know:

  • Hooker Falls is easy to access, with just a short walk away from the parking area
  • Campfires and cooking fires (charcoal, gas, wood, or other fuel) are not allowed.
  • Restrooms and changing rooms are located in the parking lot.
  • Dogs are welcome, but they need to be on a leash at all times and humans are responsible for removing all poop bags from the Forest. Please and thank you.

Hooker Falls has been known for years to local residents and was named for Edmund Hooker, who operated a mill below the falls in the late 1800s. At the time, it was named Mill Shoals Falls.[1] The Falls was seen in the movie Last of the Mohicans as the falls the characters go over in canoes.

Please be prepared to pack it in and pack it out. To protect our wildlife, trash cans are not available in the Forest.

  • For short routes, use Hooker Falls Access Area or High Falls Access Area.
  • For long routes (mainly for equestrians and mountain bikers), use Lake Imaging Access Area or Guion Farm Access Area.
