We had to drive 60 miles from our airbnb to get to Darwin Falls, but we are glad that we made the trek. Darwin Falls is located near the western edge of Death Valley National Park. When our car pulled up to the "road" that led to the trailhead, I saw the twenty feet of dry creek bed that we had to cross in our 2 wheel-drive low-clearance sedan. I cried, "We are not going to drive over that!" Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), my stubborn wife was at the wheel. Since she LOVES waterfalls, she ignored my cry and drove on. After a scary 30 seconds crossing the very rough terrains of the dry creek bed, we drove another 15 minutes (2.5 miles) on a very bumpy gravel access road.
After parking the car, we followed the path of the water to find the gorgeous waterfall. The entire hike was 2 miles, out and back. It was quite exciting to first find a trickle of water, then more and more volume of water that ended in a waterfall with actual water falling (in the middle of a huge desert)!
You will most likely get your shoes and socks wet during this hike. There is no way to avoid the water on this trail. If you like waterfalls and are not faint-hearted, then do not skip this hike. It is worth it!

Darwin Falls is a 18-foot spring-fed waterfall in the western part of Death Valley National Park near Panamint Springs. The access road from CA-190 is a rough gravel road and best with high clearance. From the small trailhead, the trail leads up Darwin Wash. Initially, the hike is through desert and doesn't seem like there should be a waterfall. About a half-mile into the hike, there will be a little bit of water and start to see more vegetation. Soon, there are willow trees and a flowing stream. The trail ends at the scenic little waterfall that flows year round. The spray from the falls allows ferns and other greenery to grow all around the falls and makes a beautiful oasis. We really enjoyed this hike and it was very unique to hike to a lush oasis in Death Valley.

I didn't expect to get my feet wet hiking in the desert. This easy hike was unlike any other we experienced in Death Valley. The vegetation was beautiful.

So glad we seen the previous reviews and made the decision to hike to the waterfall! We went July 25, 2021. Truly an oasis in the desert. Hiked with my mom and my 7 year old twins. There is an area where we needed a rope to help us climb up a rock (it is already there for you to use). The shade was a pleasant relief from the summer heat. It was 120 that afternoon. The unpaved road is bumpy... just drive slow. The hike to the falls is about a mile, I think. Absolutely beautiful. You won't regret this!

The dirt road to get to the trailhead is bumpy but any sedan should be able to make it just fine. Go slowly. It's a 2 mile round trip and in April there was water flowing. About half of the hike is in the shade of trees growing by the stream that is fed by the falls. It's really a waterfall!

This is at the entrance to the park when coming from the Ca side. It is the perfect way to get warmed up for the Valley! The road is not marked well and is a dirt road for 2.5 miles. The trail itself is lovely. The canyon has been carved out by nature, and you get to witness up close and personal the water's magic in moving through granite rock. The trail itself has a couple of balancing acts to cross over the river, so be prepared! The waterfall at the end is pretty amazing when you think how dry Death Valley is. Definitely a great way to kick off the trip!

Hard to imagine something like this exists in the middle of DV. Nice hike, beautiful area and a shirt distance from a great campground, Panamint Springs Resort

This is the only place in valley where you get natural access to fresh water and a lot of green. Its a great hike but Oct is not the best month imo to visit the falls. (Very less water)

You have to really be looking for the turn of or you will miss it. If you get to the pizza/bar heading east, you just missed it. Turn around and go back, it is well worth it. Take water and a small snack to enjoy when you get there. You will come upon a small falls and will think you are there...you are not. Keep walking and you will be rewarded. It is a beautiful site in such a desolate area.

Driving the main road thru DV, one comes across an east gravel access road to Darwin Falls. It’s nice to have an uncrowded spot to get out and walk to the falls. I wouldn’t call it a hike, since it is mostly flat and very easy...but one is rewarded with a pretty fall coming from underground springs, and it’s a good place to stretch legs and enjoy a different part of DV.

Our group will be traveling with 2 toddlers of 2 years, is the hike too difficult? How much is the distance round trip?

It was about 2 miles each way, so 4 miles total. It was a bit of a scrambling and a climb up a rock with a rope and also up a little ladder. The rope was a bit intense for our kids (6 & 9), but they can be less than adventurous at times. Other than that it, it was a nice trip. Maybe check with the rangers?
Can a 2wd sedan make the dirt road to trailhead? Anyone do it recently to know road conditions?

It is a relatively unimproved gravel road that is a little rough in places, but easily navigated by a 2-wheel drive conventional sedan. Just take it slow to save your back. Road was fine in mid-October (but check local conditions in Panamint Springs if there have been recent cloud bursts.)

Hi,
We will be hiking the Darwin Falls trial, Sep / Oct 2018.
We will be renting a car. Can a "regular" car make it to the trail head, without worrying about damaging the bottom of the car, or puncturing a tire...... or do we need to rent a Jeep Compass or similar type of vehicle with higher clearance and bigger tires?
Thanks,
Gene

Road conditions vary... but my Honda CRV did just fine. Most of the other cars at the trail head were trucks... except for the one sedan.
I have two dogs that love hikes. I’m trying to get an idea off of the reviews, if I’d be able to take them with me. Having to jump isn’t an issue, but just wondering if there’s anything too steep they won’t be able to get up?

There's a sign posted at the parking lot that specifically says no dogs. There are other areas in the park that allow dogs.

Was there in early January. It was quite nice! I understand that it flows all year, granted I am not going to visit in July to check...
How long does it take to get from the parking to the waterfall? Or how many miles do you have to walk? Just that I can imagine - is it just 20 minutes oder it an hour...

Is it unwise to drive a 23 ft motorhome to trail head?

You could do it. The road is dirt and washboard. Its is wide enough for your rig but you might have to stop and pull to the side to let an oncoming driver get by. The parking lot is probably big enough, but you could pull off the road to park. It will be a little tricky to turn around (multipoint turn). If it is your only option to get out there, then you could make it. You wouldn't get stuck if that is your concern.
