All three falls are gorgeous! The boardwalks are very well maintained and make the trip easier. The hike to the last falls is pretty strenuous, but well worth it. Allow at least an hour for the round trip.

The kids and dog loved the walk down and there are several places to stop and view or rest if someone when need it. To get to the last fall, you have to walk down some steep staircases and I was afraid that to try it with my dog. There was another area that had metal staircases (little spikes for traction on it) and my dog didn't like it on her paws but I as long as I kept her moving, she did fine. Still worth the trip, just letting you of some things you may want to think about. Also felt funny carrying a my purse due to signs posted regarding theft, I have suv. Grew up drinking from streams on wildlife trips, so I taught my kids how to drink from the stream and refilled bottles (didn't get sick.)

Nice hike in beautiful west viriginia,west viriginia has much of this to offer but few take advantage of it. Its a good experince for the whole family.

The falls are great.The middle one has the best view.They have an overlook that is in a nice position for photos more direct than side.The first falls is hard to see from viewing area.You are looking down on it.Sadly that's the only one you can see with wheelchair access.Loved the 63 foot drop on the last one.Trail is nice.It has many,many steps.If you plan to visit with the elderly be sure they can handle all the many steps and incline coming back.A bit harder than the one at Blackwater Falls.There are areas to rest if needed.All in all a very nice trip.

The quintessential beauty of West Virginia is on full display on the trails and the falls. The path and steps down to the lowest fall is well maintained, the most difficult part being the final descent, but it is mostly stairs. The trip down is worth it, postcard-like scenery all along the way. Allow for about an hour, my 79 year old dad made it in about 45 minutes. There are no restroom facilities on the trail, but some in the parking lot before you go. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

Just be prepared to walk. It is a decent hike, great falls at the end. The trek is worth the view. I never get enough of WV.

Falls of Hills Creek Scenic Area is located in the Monongahela National Forest, west of Hillsboro. We visited on the way up go skiing at Snowshoe during a cold spell and the waterfalls were spectacular in their frozen beauty. From the parking area, a paved, handicapped-accessible trail leads about a quarter-mile to the overlook for Upper Falls on Hills Creek. Upper Falls is 25 feet, but the view is from the side so it's hard to see and not very impressive. Past this overlook, the trail gets more challenging as it descends via stairs and boardwalks. The next overlook is for Middle Falls on Hills Creek, a 45-foot waterfall. The overlook is in a much better position so you get a much better view of the falls. Past here is a steep metal staircase and more wooden boardwalks to descend to Lower Falls on Hills Creek. At 63 feet, this is the second highest waterfall in the state of West Virginia and certainly one of the most beautiful. It was quite cold when we visited and the upper and middle waterfalls were completely frozen. The lower waterfall was still flowing but a huge cone of ice formed at the base. I thought it kind of looked like a giant blue pineapple. Although this area is likely more popular in the warmer months, it's definitely worth checking out in the winter when there's potential for the waterfalls to freeze and this area becomes a winter wonderland.

Very nice falls. What i liked was on the lower falls you can go under them. I wished I was wearing a suit though. Very cool.

All three falls are beautiful but if your up to it walk to the third falls it is worth it. Be ready for lots of steps.

Falls of Hills Creek is a lovely area to go hiking. Be aware that there are many stairs to get to the lower falls, which means many stairs to climb back up. But it is well worth it, the hike on the trails that follow Hills Creek are very is to follow and are surrounded by wild and wonderful West Virginia forest. It is also good if you can go after there has been rain since that affects the amount of water going over the falls.
