Overview: Rock formations, verdant ferns and towering trees surround this 80-foot rush of water along Hemlock Creek. Also enjoy the small lake.

You will also find the trailhead to Yakso falls just across the road.

Tips: At milepost 16 on Hwy. 138, turn south on Little River Road (County Road 17, turning into Forest Road 27) and follow for 25.8 miles (7 of which are gravel) to Lake-in-the-Woods Campground. Trailhead parking is at the campground entrance. Access to Hemlock Falls Trail is near camp site #1.
