About This Trail
Tucked away near the Rockbound Lake trailhead, Silverton Falls offers a brief but rewarding ascent through coniferous forest to a graceful waterfall that spills over a series of narrow limestone ledges. The secluded location means you may have the falls entirely to yourself, making it an excellent detour for those seeking quieter corners of the park. The trail gains elevation quickly but the payoff comes fast.
