Carrick Creek Loop Trail at Table Rock State Park

The trail map and elevation profile.

 

Waterfalls at the trail head make for a great start to the hike.

 

The loop marker. Going counter-clockwise will make the first half of the hike a little more challenging, but the payoff in the second half is worth it.

 

One of the many, many gorgeous water cascades on the trail

 

Be sure to stay left about 1/3 of the way in to follow the Carrick Creek Loop

 

Some creek crossings have boarded walks, but many do not. Be careful as the rocks can be slippery.

 

Donna expertly navigates one of the many creek crossings

 

It may look small, but this is one of my favorite waterfalls on the trail. The sound it produces is so soothing!
