Fall Creek Falls Prater Homestead




Fall Creek Falls SP Seasonal Ranger Derek led 7 hikers and one 4 legged hiker on the Prater Homestead trail to Hemlock Falls. It's 2.7 miles to the waterfall. We found a LOT of wildflowers today, along with salamander eggs and frog egg jelly clusters. The temperature got warm today. After we finished the hike, I went to the Crusher Hole to see if the Columbine was blooming. I didn't see any, but there were lots of wild ginger, violets, and a Celandine Poppy. From the rain we had recently, Cane Creek flooded the Crusher Hole area and filled the area with sand. Not sure the wildflowers like the sandy soil.
