Rockwell Falls
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
This is grizzly bear country — carry bear spray, make noise on the trail, and never approach wildlife. The Two Medicine valley has active bear traffic, especially in huckleberry season from late July through August.
The rocks near the base of the falls are slick with spray and algae. Stay behind the informal viewing area rather than scrambling down to the water's edge.
Trail Details
Pro Tips
Start from the South Shore Trailhead at the boat dock — you can also catch the historic Sinopah boat shuttle across Two Medicine Lake to shave distance, but hiking the full route along the lakeshore is half the experience.
The falls run strongest in June and early July during snowmelt; by late August the flow can thin to a trickle, so time your visit accordingly if the waterfall is the main draw.
The rocky outcrop just below the falls viewpoint makes an excellent lunch spot with natural seating — arrive before noon to claim it on busy summer weekends.
