Trailheads are located in parking areas for the Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center on the south side of campus and Science Building on the north side of campus. College buildings are typically closed on weekends, and no restrooms are available on site.

Description

The Cascades Trail is accessed from the Woodlands Trail closest to the Bishopric Trailhead. Run approximately 0.5 miles on the Woodlands Trail and go left at the Woodlands Trail/Cascades Trail intersection. The Cascades Trail is a lasso loop. For the most direct route to the cascades, turn left at the next trail intersection. Make sure to run the short spur (left) down the stone steps to the viewing platform for the cascades.

If you follow this route to the cascades and back, it is a total of 1.9 miles. If you complete the entire lasso loop, the total length from the trailhead is 2.25 miles.

Flora & Fauna

The trail passes through a mixed hardwood and pine forest with typical Piedmont flora and fauna.
