While Lassen Volcanic National Park is known for its wide variety of hydrothermal features, there are a few other sights in the park worth seeing, including Kings Creek Falls. The trail is accessible both by foot and by horse. The horse trail is 3 miles roundtrip and the trail following the cascade is 2.4 miles round trip. Surrounding the waterfall are ferns and other green plants which adds contrast to the otherwise volcanic lanscape. Each season offers something different by way of scenery, with spring bringing flowers such as Fawn Lillies or Satin-leaf Lupines. During the summer visitors can enjoy the mist produced by the waterfall and in winter time, see a snow covered landscape. There is also plenty of wildlife in the area to see, including the Mule Deer and Clark's Nutcracker. 

Because there are two trails visitors can take, there are different levels of difficulty. The horse trail is a steadier and not as steep trail, though it is longer as visitors descend towards the falls. The Cascade trail however, is more difficult and involves some scrambling along the creekside rocks. Visitors who take the Cascade trail will be able to walk along the cascades that eventually feed into Kings Creek Falls. Hiking boots are recommended for both routes. 

The trail also continues past the waterfall and goes towards Warner Valley using part of the Pacific Crest Trail.
