Lands Run Falls is a great little leg-stretcher hike not far from the northern entrance to Shenandoah National Park. It is only 0.6 miles to the Falls with a gentle profile.
BUT – the Falls require a bit of bushwacking and it is very steep next to the creek. Use caution.
Most folks do not know about this waterfall and in summer it is a tiny trickle so do plan to visit after heavy rains!

The Trail
Follow the fire road down until you cross Lands Run at 0.6 miles. You are now at the top of the Falls.
At that point retrace your steps a few yards and turn downhill. The creek should be on your left as you scramble down. Soon you will hear and see the Lands Run Falls then it is time to be extra careful!
