Hebron Falls, or the Boone Fork Falls, is one of the many treasures you’ll discover when you hike the easy-to-moderate 5.5-mile loop known as the Boone Fork Trail. Hebron Falls is a dramatic cascade that weaves through a bed of massive boulders on its gradual descent.For five glorious miles, the Boone Fork trail carries hikers and runners through a variety of landscapes–grassy meadows, rhododendron tunnels, alongside boulder strewn streams and cascades, and all aided by thoughtfully and beautifully built ladders, bridges and stairs.
The Boone Fork Trail is another gem along the Blue Ridge Parkway that runs alongside the beautiful cascades of Hebron Falls and other majestic sections of the Boone Fork River.

It winds and curves thoughtfully around moss-covered boulders and outcroppings, and hikers are aided along the way by well-crafted stairs and ladders that are integrated seamlessly into the landscape. It’s one of many destinations in The High Country that would make the perfect landscape or backdrop for movies or novels.
Loop Trail. 5 miles.
Difficulty. Easy to Moderate but with some technical parts that involve short ladders and stairs, careful footwork around rocks and ledges and a few hill climbs up from the river.
Special Considerations. It’s not too strenuous for your children, but there are some danger spots so keep the young ones close at hand.
