Black Fork Falls is a longer hike from the trailhead, but still on the same trail as Marsh Fork Falls. Both falls can be reached by taking a 1 1/4 mile loop hike.
A few portions of the moderate trail are rocky, and the short side trail down to Black Fork Falls is very steep. Like it's twin, Black Fork Falls is about 20 feet high, but it has an entirely different character to it, making a free fall as opposed to the cascade at Marsh Fork.
Also, Black Fork Falls faces west, so is better photographed when the sun is on it in the afternoon.I have been to Black Fork Falls in the dead of winter when it was a frozen column of ice. Both of the twin falls are in the extreme upper reaches of the Mississippi River watershed, so the flow may be only a trickle in dry seasons.
