Fantastic experience! The hike to the top was shady and fair to navigate. Once at the very top, view was stunning. You could climb the rocks and swim in the small water pools and "slides".

Beautiful easy hike to falls. Had lunch on the rocks between the falls. Nice swimming areas as well.

A family favorite! 10/15 minutes of walk/hiking. There are 3/4 different places to sit and lay in sun. In the summer months its a little crowded but still a blast! Gentle rock slides and pools you can dunk in and swim a little bit. Parking is terrible! very small area for how big the falls are.

One of my favorite places in the whole world. It's a quarter mile hike to the waterfalls, and then it's splash splash time in the pools. There's a few waterfalls you can definitely slide down. The view is lovely.

Questions & Answers

Are dogs allowed on leash?

Been going there for decades, don't know what the rules are concerning dogs, but please, for the health and safety of your dogs, and wildlife that calls the area home, keep them leashed. Very few dogs can resist giving chase when they spot a deer, fox, etc., resulting in undue stress on wildlife already contending with growing human hordes, climate change, invasive species, etc., (e.g. frogs that used to be a common site in the more secluded pools are rarely if ever seen today) not to mention the risk of injury and infection to your dogs. Thank you and enjoy. It's a special place.

Yes it does, even if the lot is full they have other parking areas on the side ( note posted on the signs ) This is absolutely one of my favorite waterfalls my 5 yr old son enjoys it also 🙂 A fairly easy hike only takes approx 30 mins to get to the top (depending on how you walk) and theres even a few spots you can even take a dip in if you get too hot
