The trail was pretty wide and moderate for about 1.9 miles from red gate to end of the wide trail. Then the trail became difficult because it was narrow and switch back all way down through the gorge to the overlook deck for about 0.6 mile. There were two spur trails off the main trail to see two unnamed waterfalls so be careful to explore there due to slippery and steep.

Beautiful in and out hike from Horsepasture Rd. down into the Eastatoe Gorge to Eastatoe Creek. The highlight is the overlook at “The Narrows,” where the creek travels through a narrow rock crevice.

Trail is well stepped. Appears to have been recently cleared of fallen trees. Great viewing platform for the waterfalls and excellent areas for large group lunch spots.
