Nice semi-shaded 1 1/2 mile trail (each way) to a great waterfall.
Whiskeytown Falls cascades down a series of steps, with a total height around 220ft. Though it's impossible to capture the whole of the falls within the lens of a camera, there are still many photo opportunities to be had and the trail also climbs part-way up the falls for some even better views.
Spring and early summer may be the best times to experience these falls, and although the hike might be uncomfortable for some on the hottest days, the heat is somewhat mitigated by the shade of trees for most of the journey.

Whiskeytown Falls Trail has its ups and downs, but it's short enough that even someone with tiny little legs or couch potato tendencies could probably complete it with a little coaxing.
The start of the trail isn't breathtaking, but once you get to water the landscape is dramatically green and hydrated in comparison to the brush that you've hiked through to get there.
The falls were much larger than I expected. Take the staircase up the side for the best view.
Remember to bring water and if you are inclined, a picnic. There are a couple of places to stop and lunch along the trail. -

These water falls are nice. In the Park there are several other smaller falls that are easier to hike to. The parking at the trail head has gotten tougher as the popularity of the falls increases, but you are not over whelmed by people, like in Yosemite's falls.
