Burden Falls Road offers a wonderful experience in the Shawnee National Forest. The highlight of the trail is Burden Falls. The road itself has golf ball-sized gravel mixed in with numerous potholes, making for an easy drive. The only real obstacle is the Burden Creek crossing. Depending on the water level, the creek crossing may be impassable. The eastern half features private property on either side of the road, with the last mile or so consisting of pavement, and the road ends at the junction of State Highway 145. No obvious camping locations exist along the route.
Burden Falls has a parking area right off the road, and a short hike leads to two waterfalls and some fantastic scenery. Cliffs, large boulders, and water pools, in addition to the waterfalls, make for a great area to explore! Burden Falls is a must-see in the area.
