Marin County waterfalls flush as rain keeps coming
With a solid winter of rain in the hills, it’s peak waterfall season in Marin County. The only question is which cascade to see first. For Ian McLorg, chief park ranger with Marin County Parks, Dawn Falls is the first that comes to mind. The approximately three-quarter-mile trail to the falls is in the Baltimore Canyon Preserve. “Dawn Falls, especially after some good rain, is a pretty spectacular waterfall,” McLorg said. To access Dawn Falls Trail, he suggested entering via Crown Road in Kentfield and hiking the Southern Marin Line Fire Road. “A short jaunt from the trailhead at Southern Marin Line Fire Road, you just head as if you’re going towards Corte Madera, and the Dawn Falls Trail drops off to your left down the fire road,” McLorg said. “That one is a great one to see this time of year.”
