Shadow Falls is a short, easy hike in the Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about a quarter mile long, with a low point of 3,251 feet and a high of 3,362 feet, and it makes an out-and-back trip with an elevation gain of about 110 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 83 to 84°F in July and August, and the trail is open from June 1 to September 30. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the falls, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Centennial Falls is about 2 miles away, and Devils Elbow campground is about 3.5 miles off. Berlin Flats and Big Hank campgrounds are both within about 4.5 miles.
