Only there for a short period, but excellent access for scenic views at multiple locations, cool short trail to see waterfalls and a great new visitor center.

Any hikes that would be good for small children? Maybe even a stroller?

Jen Andrews | Sep 23, 2018
Craig Foote | Sep 23, 2018

There are many trails. A stroller may be difficult to use as there are many tree roots that could snag the wheels. The Indian Ladder Trail reopens today.

The Indian Ladder Trail has a rule on its sign that says Do Not Walk Barefoot. Does anyone know why??

Cattard1 | Sep 23, 2018

Limestone. The area is mostly made up of exposed limestone bedrocks which can be quite sharp, and generally, it's a good idea to wear shoes on any trail to prevent falls.
