Linda Falls

This is a stunning waterfall in the valley that’s not widely known, even by the locals and those nearby. It’s a bit of a challenge with some loose gravel, but it’s definitely worth the effort!

Short hike, with small steep spot, kids can make it, pretty, clean, take the saw mill walk in along the creek. Free!❤️🌷🐕🙂‍↔️

Beautiful hike. Gets a little steep at the end. Lots of poison ivy and stinging nettle at the fall

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape into nature, Linda Falls in Angwin is a true hidden gem in Napa Valley. Tucked away in the hills, this scenic waterfall offers a short but rewarding hike through a beautiful forested area, with the soothing sounds of flowing water and birdsong all around. The trail itself is easy to moderate, making it accessible for most hikers, though there are some rocky sections near the falls that require careful footing. The reward? A stunning cascade of water tumbling over moss-covered rocks, creating a picture-perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just soak in the beauty of nature. One of the best things about Linda Falls is how uncrowded it usually is. Unlike some of the more touristy Napa attractions, this spot feels like a private retreat, perfect for a quiet moment away from the wineries and vineyards. If you’re in Napa Valley and want to experience a different side of its natural beauty, Linda Falls is worth the visit. Just be sure to wear sturdy shoes, respect the local wildlife, and bring a camera—because this little slice of paradise is one you’ll want to remember!

Short hike and nice falls. There was quite a bit of water mid February. Not sure what it would be like in summer. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the area at the falls is not very big and there isn't much room to hang out. There were 6 other people there besides us and it was kind of crowded. There isn't parking at the trailhead, but you can park at the community college by the baseball field. It was a five minute walk back down the street to the bike path. Then about five minutes to the falls trailhead. And about 15 minutes to the falls. The trail is rocky, narrow, and steep in some places. Worth the trip, but not somewhere you can spend the day at. We combined it with visits to nearby Bothe Napa Valley State Park and Bale Grist Mill State Park.
