The Coleman River Trail is an easy, popular 0.8-mile trail that starts at the first bridge along Tallulah River Road. It closely follows the Coleman River, a major tributary of the Tallulah River, passing numerous scenic cascades and swimming holes. The trail ends at a small sluice-type waterfall between two boulders, sometimes called Coleman River Falls because it's the largest drop on the trail. This is really more of a cascade than a true waterfall, but it's scenic. The entire area is recovering from the damaging effects of the 2016 Rock Mountain Fire.
