When to Go
Fall Creek Falls State Park is open year-round and offers different experiences throughout the year. Peak season runs from April to September (and gets especially busy during fall foliage). Later in the fall season is ideal as the crowds will have gone and the humidity decreased. The waterfalls are at their most powerful in the winter, making this a good time to visit for those who don’t mind a little chill.
