Paul's Creek Waterslide

A great way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors is to take advantage of the many miles of hiking trails available in and around the resort. We are definitely in the dog days of summer and this hike offers a cool and refreshing finish. 

Paul's Creek Waterslide is one of our favorites and consists of a moderate 2 mile hike located in Stoney Creek at the base of the mountain. At the end of this valley hike near Crawford's Knob is as series of cascading waterfalls making it one of the local favorite swimming holes. The rock surfaces of the falls have been smoothed by thousands of years of rushing water. Be sure to check the weather before you go so that you avoid the summertime thunderstorms. 

DIRECTIONS: From Nellysford on Route 151, turn west onto Monocan Drive and drive to the end, then take a left on Rhodes Valley Drive, left on Crawfords Climb and right on Paul’s Creek Cul-de-sac.

The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen has a great website outlining some of the best hikes Wintergreen has to offer.
