The Waterfall Trail at White Tank Mountain Regional Park in Waddell, Arizona is a very popular and easy 1.8 mile out-and-back hike up to one of the only waterfalls near Phoenix. This waterfall only runs during the rainy season and after heavy rainfalls. Be sure to get out quickly after it rains as the waterfall dries up quickly.
The trail starts out paved and runs between two large foothills of White Tank Mountain while heading gradually uphill towards the waterfall. Eventually the paved section ends, but the trail itself is easy to walk on until you reach the rock steps up to the waterfall.
Just before the waterfall, you'll start to see larger boulders and steps that head into a canyon. Not much further up the trail lies the waterfall - depending on the season.
Admission Fee: There's a $7 fee to enter the park with a vehicle. You can read more about the fees here.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
