About Twin Falls

This scenic hike follows the north shore of Two Medicine Lake along the Dawson Pass Trail, leading to a charming forested waterfall where two streams spill down a rocky cliff face. A short spur trail brings you close to the cascades, offering a cool and peaceful retreat beneath the trees. For a quicker approach, you can cross the lake by boat and begin from the West End Dock, turning the journey into a memorable water-and-trail adventure.
