• Site Description: The trailhead for Nesbitt's Knee Falls is 3.6 km from the fork. 1.5 km along this road there is a bridge across Barbour Creek (this is the start of the Barbour Falls ski trip). After 3.5 km Waterfall Creek is crossed, and the parking lot is 100 meters further on the right. It too was constructed by Hillsborough Resources in 2006. The trail is under 1.5 km long. It climbs for the first 50 meters, gaining a ridge, then becomes mostly flat, leading along the edge of the valley through pine forest. After a few hundred meters the first views of the falls and canyon are obtained. The views are most impressive in spring, when the falls are at their most powerful and the leaves are not yet on the aspen. A bench with a full view of the falls provides a good spot to rest and take photos. Once you reach the cliff, it is possible to scramble steeply down beside it to the base of the falls. But be aware that the rocks are slippery, the water is bracingly cold, and the pool is only waist deep. The trail continues a few hundred meters further, briefly joining an old exploration road, then ending at a pleasant spot beside the creek above the falls This trail is maintained by the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society.
