Easy Waterfalls to Hike To

Easy hikes are known for being generally flat with only a few up/down sections. They are usually maintained trails that don't have many obstacles.

Most, if any, obstacles can be walked around, as the paths are normally wider than more difficult hiking trails. Most easy trails are short, but may not necessarily be so.

Easy trails can walked by most, including small children, although, as with anything, they may want to be carried some or all of the way.
