If you are looking for a “non-hike, hike,” then this is the one for you. In total, this clocked in a 0.2-mile total (and that was walking back and forth to see the falls from multiple angles.)
Hike Report
This hike was originally completed on July 10, 2017.
We made a stop at Buttermilk Falls as my first check off for the Indian Lake 4-3-2-1 Way Challenge. What a way to start. The falls were roaring! We spent about half an hour just sitting and listening to the falls, and it was so peaceful. Not in peak season, this would be a great place to bring a book and sit for a while.
I have done this “hike” before, and I remember there were a lot of people there. It was nice this time to basically have the place to ourselves to enjoy for a bit.
Trip Stats
- Distance: 0.2 miles (round trip)

Rating
I gave this an 8 out of 10. It was beautiful today, though I could see that rating being lower if it were very busy, as it’s likely a popular hike due to the falls and the ease of arriving at the destination.
Happy Hiking Friends!
