Access Info: Ruby's Falls can be reached by a long, very steep, and strenuous hike from Fort Mountain Lake along Big Rock Trail, Gahuti Trail, Bike Trail #301, and finally, Horse Trails #401/404/405. The waterfall is at the terminus of Trail #405. Most people won't find the waterfall worth the effort, especially in dry periods.
