Linda Falls — Attraction in St. Helena

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape into nature, Linda Falls in Angwin is a true hidden gem in Napa Valley. Tucked away in the hills, this scenic waterfall offers a short but rewarding hike through a beautiful forested area, with the soothing sounds of flowing water and birdsong all around.

The trail itself is easy to moderate, making it accessible for most hikers, though there are some rocky sections near the falls that require careful footing. The reward? A stunning cascade of water tumbling over moss-covered rocks, creating a picture-perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just soak in the beauty of nature.

One of the best things about Linda Falls is how uncrowded it usually is. Unlike some of the more touristy Napa attractions, this spot feels like a private retreat, perfect for a quiet moment away from the wineries and vineyards.

If you’re in Napa Valley and want to experience a different side of its natural beauty, Linda Falls is worth the visit. Just be sure to wear sturdy shoes, respect the local wildlife, and bring a camera—because this little slice of paradise is one you’ll want...

Short hike and nice falls. There was quite a bit of water mid February. Not sure what it would be like in summer. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the area at the falls is not very big and there isn't much room to hang out. There were 6 other people there besides us and it was kind of crowded. There isn't parking at the trailhead, but you can park at the community college by the baseball field. It was a five minute walk back down the street to the bike path. Then about five minutes to the falls trailhead. And about 15 minutes to the falls. The trail is rocky, narrow, and steep in some places. Worth the trip, but not somewhere you can spend the day at. We combined it with visits to nearby Bothe Napa Valley State Park and Bale Grist...

Hidden Gem. No specific parking lot available for Linda falls. You can park on the road side or tennis court parking lot. No restroom area. Trail start closer to the roadside but you have follow the biking sign. Once you reach Linda falls sign board then simply follow the trail. Its not a easy tail for toddlers. Safe trail. There are places where its bit slippery. Bit rocky too. Water falls is beautiful. Yes its a hidden Gem. We met only one family during 90 min stay. Water is super cold but your fell will love it. Best place for a day trip. Drive from San Francisco to Napa is treat...
