• When to Go
  Spring ~ fall (Nice park to enjoy in good weather)

• Things to Do
  Stroll along the trail, explore the trail in the woods, enjoy the forest and see the waterfall

• Tips
  1) The end of the trail leading down to the falls is narrow so be careful not to slip on the rocks.
  2) A small area on the left side of the trail right before going down to the falls provides a nice shady spot perfect for resting or taking pictures (there is no shade down near the falls).
  3) There are several places along the trail where you can reach the water to take a rest and let the kids throw rocks.
  4) A towel and extra pair of socks can be useful if anyone wants to dip their feet in the water.
