There were no parking spots available at the trailhead so I could not stop to see these falls. It is apparently a popular trail. Go early in the morning to get a spot.

Great hike. It is about 1.5 miles round trip. To get to the falls you go down hill and the falls do not disappoint. However, it is a bit steep getting back up.

These are the words spoken by the hiker returning up the trail to the folks at the trailhead asking about trail difficulty. Yes, the trail proceeds downward to the falls, and the trip back to the parking lot is uphill most of the way. Wear good shoes -- the trail has lots of rock.
We hiked on a weekday in early June. The park was not busy, but this trail was very populated -- probably one of the most used trails in the park. It was worth the 1.4-mile roundtrip hike. The falls are beautiful.

Only hike we did while driving along skyline, my kids enjoyed it though normally they don’t like to hike, we were lucky to have a sunny day above 70F, it’s not a long walk, do take water with you. The parking lot is rather small, big meadow is quite close so I guess we could park there and walk back if needed. The water fall is refreshing and lovely, at places we could cross the stream which was fun.

Choosing a favorite hike in Shenandoah is like trying to choose a favorite color of the rainbow. But Dark Hollow Falls was mine. It was quiet except for the stream that leads to a waterfall.

The short downhill trail to the waterfall is ~0.75 miles and the hike back up to the parking lot gains ~450 feet of elevation. The trail was quite congested and slippery at times, but the view of the waterfall at the bottom was worth it. You can’t miss Dark Hollow Falls when visiting Shenandoah!

Nice short hike just south of Meadows visitor center. A little steep going back up but very doable even for kids.

If you’re looking for a short option, park at the Dark Hollow Falls parking lot and hike straight down the path for less than a mile to reach the falls. From there, you can turn back around or continue hiking another 1.5 miles to Rose River Falls. My main tip for this hike is to prepare for a more difficult ending- you start the hike going downhill but end it going uphill.

I'm giving this a 5 because the hike is not overly-long or extremely strenuous. It was, for us, the signature hike we did while visiting Shenandoah NP.
The trailhead for this hike is on Skyline Drive itself. The lot appeared to fill up early. You can avoid this by parking at the Big Meadows Visitors' Center lot and doing an additional ~ 1/2-mlie or less hike from there to the trailhead on a separate trail. So if the lot is full, don't give up! You could also hike from lodging at Big Meadows, but it would be at least a mile from there to the VC, so it would become roughly a 3-mile (one-way) hike.
From the trailhead, you begin descending almost immediately. Most of the trail is a gentle downhill slope, with occasional steps or slightly steeper inclines. Once you reach the top of the falls, the remainder of the trails (basically a large switchback to get to the base) is steeper, but not too bad. The trail is rocky; if you have hiking poles, they will help.
We went in the latter half of October and the Fall foliage was a great bonus during the hike.
At the base of the falls, I think the total distance is just under 1.5 miles. We saw people of all ages and fitness levels doing this hike, so it should be within most peoples' ability-range. The return hike (uphill) is definitely more strenuous than the descent.
The earlier you go, the more of the crowd you'll likely avoid. Throughout our hike, the crowd on the trail steadily increased (we started around 9:30 a.m., I think).
If you are visiting Shenandoah, I would highly recommend this hike.

The prettiest, most relaxing hike in Shenandoah. Dark Hollow Falls, the falls itself, is easy to access using the Rose River Fire Road from the Fisher's Gap Overlook parking lot. Or you can challenge yourself a bit and take the hike from the Dark Hollow Falls parking. Both lead to the falls, which is picturesque. But the best part comes after. Continue on the hike on the Rose River Loop, toward Rose River Falls. The trail, sometimes wet from water seeping down the hillside, sloops down gently and has some minor unsure footing. But the payoff is in the view. You walk alongside the river the entire trail, at least until shortly after Rose River Falls (or you can turn around at the bridge before the falls). The river is a series of small rapids and eddying currents,k beautiful to see and hear. Plenty of rocks offer a spot to take off your shoes and cool your feet. The entire trail is shaded so you can take it in the heat of a summer day.

What is the easiest hike to a waterfall in this park?

Hi! You think this is something manageable with 2 kids - 3 and 6? We are 2 adults and 2 kids. Can you avoid the crowds by making an early start? Or late evening? Is there a time of day which is less crowded?

I would not suggest for a 3 year old. Maybe 6 year old. Must wear proper shoes, not sandals or crocs.

No, there isn't really anywhere to swim, but you can dip your toes in. For swimming try Rose River trail.

Yes. According to Barkpost, Shenandoah is one of a few national parks that allow dogs. They must be leashed. This is second hand so you may want to check with that site or with the park itself.

Is this recommended for families with young children? 3 year old and 6 year old.

My 6 year old had no problems with minimal help, but your 3 yr old might. It depends how used to hiking they are, especially steep and Rocky terrain.
