Sadly the waterfall was dry during the summer. Lots of greenery and very pretty. Easy hike. Good for kids. If you want more of a challenge go all the way up to horsetooth rock. Also very pretty moon hike.

The hike to the falls is pretty mild, but the paths are very narrow. The falls was very crowded on the weekend, hard to find a spot to sit and enjoy, but definitely a cool view. There are plenty of other trails very close making it a great destination to go and hike for the day. Parking was pretty crowded but we were able to find a spot on the first pass.

Great trail for little ones. Ups and downs both ways. The falls are a refreshing treat at the mid-point of this out and back trail. Early July 2020 the falls were a trickle, but still falling. A nice spot to cool off and soak your hat for the hike back. Not a very shady trail, so bring water on a hot day even on this shorter trail. In the early morning youre almost guaranteed to see some mule deer and maybe a skunk. In the afternoon lots of raptors circling overhead looking for lunch: redtail hawks and turkey vultures.

The hike was short and easy. About 2.5 miles round trip. The views were nice; however, the falls were dried up.

A nice hike on a curving path with views of the mountains surrounding the area. The walk was very relaxing and easy to do. However, the path has some very rocky spots and some big rock steps near the falls so good shoes are necessary. Also, it’s a very cute and fun area but don’t expect a huge, flowing waterfall like I did

Wife broke her foot on this trail but it is still a family favorite. The views from the bottom of the falls and the top are both beautiful in there own ways. And the bottom of the falls has always been cool even in the sweltering heat of the summer with or without water flowing.

Challenging for a first time, getting-back-in-shape hiker but still very doable. The coolness of a dip in the water is a great reward! Suggestions for next time: walking sticks, bug spray and arrive earlier.For others, if its a hot day leave your fur baby at home! So many were overheating and collapsing on the side of the trail.

Very beautiful, but very steep in some places! If you arent an avid hiker, you might need to stop a few times to catch your breath! Parking was so full! Had to circle a few times to wait for people to leave just to get a spot. Trail was clean and getting a parking pass was very easy, but they only take credit cards!

It was a good hike with a beautiful view and plenty of wildlife.

Great little hike. Only 3 miles round-trip. Lots of elevation change.

Great hike with beautiful life all around very easy trail to bring the family or lazy dogs.

Worth the drive. Challenging but not so difficult that my 9 year old son and our dog couldnt handle it. Beautiful waterfall and photo opportunities.

Perfect area for a flatlander like me from Florida. Easy hikes

Im sure this area is stunning when there is water! I was a bit bummed to get to the area where the falls typically are, only to find they had dried up! The hike to the falls was enjoyable, a good workout. Lots of people on this trail. Good for kids, a bit steep in some parts but with breaks and encouragement they can get there!

Pretty easy hike, great views, and easily marked trails. The waterfall wasnt flowing much, but was still a pretty area.

Great hike! Falls were a trickle. Cant wait to go back.

Very cute park. Lots and lots of trails. We took the shortest one which was just over a mile, one- way. It felt longer since it was a moderate climb but ended in a beautiful waterfall and adorable little pond. Would be a wonderful trip for a warm day and picnic.

Pretty! Cold water. Fun hike; it does get a little narrow at some points, so when the trail is busy that can be a bit of a challenge.

Great hike, quiet and gorgeous views.

A mostly easy hike to a nice falls. The first 2/3 of the hike (2.4 miles rount trip) is gentle, the last 1/3 is a bit more difficult, but with little elevation gain. The signage is very minimal, but path is straightforward. Theres also an option to connect with the Spring Creek trail near the falls rather than taking the incoming Falls trail back to the parking lot.

It was a very lack luster waterfall. When I was there in June-early July it was a trickle of water

The waterfall is miniscule but the trail and views are great.

Not that big but a nice hiking place

Gorgeous views of Fort Collins, nice hike up, except when there is a bit of snow/ice.

Visited this gem in Fort Collins almost two years ago during the spring. Loved the scenery! Easy to moderate trail no longer than two miles to the falls with access to longer day hikes and backpacking trails!

Always a pleasure to do this hike.

Wonderful network of hiking trails of various difficulty. The falls are definitely the highlight of the park. The hike to the falls is doable with young kids. If you go on the weekend, the parking lot fills up quickly, so get there early. Wonderful day trip!

It is quite a hike to find out there is no water falling! On the other hand the trail is well marked and not all that difficult. It is scenic.Go early in the day as this place is BUSY. 9.00 for a walk, meh

Great family hike. My 6 and 4 year old hiked the whole thing. Beautiful!

1.2 mile hike that is pretty straight forward. The fall is a pretty kid friendly swim area. Parking is 9 dollars and is pay by card only at the trail. Cash pay is somewhere else that we couldnt locate. Beautiful overlook of Ft. Collins. Highly recommend the journey.

Beautiful hike! Dog friendly. Various difficulty levels available

For a fairly easy hike still beautiful

Easy short hike to a small waterfall nestled in the surrounding trails. The waterfall was flowing with the recent week of rain and we were surprised to find the trails were not muddy. A great mile hike to the falls and back for a quick break in nature for an hour or two. Would be a kid friendly hike.

Perfect place to hike not stroller friendly stunning views !

Very pretty walk most times you will see deer. Moderate to easy hike. When I was younger I used to run the trail.

We went for Mothers day 2019. The falls were flowing perfect. It was a stretch for our 3yr old, but there were lots of other small children trying too! A little crowded, but the small controlled parking lot helps a bit with traffic numbers.

Went to visit in September. Place was dry as a bone! Bit still a nice hike there

Just absolutely amazing, the view and everything it has to offer, if you really love nature then why arent you here or visited yet. Just really beautiful

Nice shorter hike took granddaughter on. The falls kept her interested in continuing to hike. Falls are a great attraction.

Great place to hike!

Worth going when there is still water from the winter. Summer is dry.

Just beautiful ! Very maintained and clean hiking trails. Alot of wildlife and great views. Not recommended for very small children though trails are not stroller friendly and the hike is tough for little ones.

Amazing, beautiful place to go hiking! Beautiful waterfall and great site seeing and very clean! Perfect for all ages

Great hiking!

Great hike. Short but nice. 2.2 miles round trip

Great views.

Pretty little falls in Horsetooth Park

Nice short and relatively flat hike back to a seasonal waterfall. Great for kids 4 and up. About 4 miles round trip. Watch for snakes and bring plenty of water. The falls only has water early in the season so plan ahead. We have made this hike a family tradition every summer.

Beautiful ascent to the falls. There are purple amethyst in the trail as you climb. Dont take them home, holy nativenative grounds!

Nice small hike, would take about an hour and a half to go and come back.

Its a very beautiful place to visit; if you like the outdoors this is the right place to come..

Very easy hike with nice views. About 2 miles round trip.

Hiked the Horsetooth Falls loop trail which has two other trails that interweave with it and is not marked very clearly. Great hike though.

Short hike with a cool gift at the end for all to see... If you wanna pay the 10 dollars to park

Beautiful little hike, even better when there’s water in the falls! Don’t forget your camera if it’s your first time.

It was only a couple of miles to the waterfall and was definitely worth the short hike.

Beautiful views, moderate difficulty. Parking may be difficult on the weekends.

Weak but nice hike. Must go On top of the horsetooth Rock

We really enjoyed the scenes, the hike was pleasant and the falls were rewarding and beautiful!

It was pretty but really hot that day and i saw a snake

Great fun in the beautiful Colorado Outdoors. Nice, simple hike to reach the falls here! Good wildlife and foliage to admire, as well.

Ok

Favorite hike to take beginners or people who just havent hiked it before! Then go the rest of the way to the top of the rock past the falls!

You have to wait for parking sometimes but its worth it. The hike isnt too hard children can do it if that gives you an idea

Great hiking options and easy for our kiddos but depending on what time of year you go the falls may or may not have water flowing down them. The falls rely on the snowpack and later on in the summer or even in the fall season there is not enough snow left in the snowpack to sustain the water in the creek.

Google maps GPS information is incorrect in using Irene Way off of Shoreline Dr to direct people to Horsetooth Falls. There is no access. These roads are steep and privately maintained. If you are not a resident you will be ticketed and may get stuck attempting the hill.

Worth the hike! Get there early.

The views are just amazing and tranquil and I Love hiking here.

Even though there was no water in the falls at the time of my hike, the hike is still a lot of fun.

Long hike, seen a lot of deer and up close

Good and not too hard of a hikeWent in September and there was no water in the Falls

Love being here

Short hike, but nice.
