Cascade Falls Trailhead — Attraction in Mill Valley

Cascade Falls in Cascade Park, Mill Valley is different from Cascade Falls in Fairfax which are close together. The Cascade Falls in Cascade Park still have water unlike the Falls in Fairfax in July 2025. The road to get there is cascade drive would take us all the way to the park. There aren't many parking lots for spaces around the area. We're lucky to find one right in front of the Cascade trail. People parked along the Cascade Drive and walk up to the trail. It's a very short hike to the Falls, on the right hand side by the little bridge. The trail is really nice, you can walk up hills pass the Falls.

Go now and you'll be rewarded w/ the sounds of rushing water and the sweet smell of moist Redwood trees. If a longer hike is desired, you may continue up the path and eventually reach the top of Mt. Tamalpais. This is a favorite trail for folks walking their dogs and...

Great little spot. Those that said it’s a 10 minute hike were clearly also counting time to park, time to walk to it and back, and time to take pictures. It’s literally so close to where you park. The trees and fall are both beautiful. This area is in the middle of a peaceful, quiet neighborhood- please drive slowly to keep this from becoming inaccessible. I’ve seen far too many neighborhood hikes and waterfalls in upper peninsula Michigan become private and inaccessible due to visitors trashing the place and driving recklessly. There are only a handful of parking spots, but because the hike is so quick, people come and go very quickly. If you can’t find a spot, someone will come back in just a...
