Falls of Hills Creek is a series of three named waterfalls accessed via a 1.3-mile out-and-back trail in the Monongahela National Forest near Hillsboro, Pocahontas County. The first of these falls (Upper Falls) is reached via a paved, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk, making this location suitable for visitors with mobility considerations.
Beyond the Upper Falls, the trail continues with stairs and additional boardwalks to reach the Middle and Lower falls. The exact heights of the individual cascades are not officially documented, but the series combines to create a scenic hike through the national forest. No entrance fee is required for access.
The partial accessibility of the boardwalk allows visitors with limited mobility to experience at least the first waterfall without extensive hiking, while more ambitious hikers can continue to the other drops in the series. The well-maintained trail and consistent water flow make this a reliable destination year-round.
Year-round; flows consistently in the Monongahela National Forest.

Official WV state tourism board page, checked Sept 2026: gives coordinates and describes a 1.3-mile out-and-back trail with a paved, ADA-accessible boardwalk to the first (Upper) of three named falls; remainder involves stairs/boardwalks. Cross-checked against fs.usda.gov/r09/monongahela/recreation, which lists this scenic area under the Gauley Ranger District with no current closure. Individual heights of the Middle and Lower falls were not confirmed on an official page, so height_ft is left null.
