But you&rsquo;ve got 4-5 days. Here are the trails worth your time, organized by difficulty.</p> <hr> <h2 id="easy-laurel-falls-26-miles-round-trip">Easy: Laurel Falls (2.6 miles round trip)</h2> <p>The most popular trail in the park for good reason — a paved path through hardwood forest to an 80-foot waterfall. Accessible for most fitness levels including older kids. The trail is wide and well-maintained. Go early morning to avoid crowds (by 10 AM on summer weekends, the parking lot is full). The falls are beautiful in every season — frozen in winter, surrounded by wildflowers in spring.</p>
