These water falls are proof there is a God that creates such breath taking & beautiful water falls! A photo is worth a thousand words right! See for yourself! So many people enjoying the beauty! It’s a short walk down the steps, but the photos are best from the overlook you walk few steps from your cars.

Beautiful and family friendly! We took our 3 boys (13, 3, 6 months) and had a great time! The 3 year old was able to walk down and up to the water below. There is a viewing spot above that is handicap accessible but there are stairs and rocks to navigate if you want to touch water. My boys enjoyed claiming on the rocks and exploring. The 3 year old was the only one crazy enough to put more than toes in the water (it was cold!). We were there around lunch time on a Wednesday in mid-June and it was pretty crowded but we could still explore and get pictures. Parking was all along the road at and before the falls. If you wait to park until you are right at the falls, you may have to go down and turn around (there are a couple of turn offs ahead).

A wonderful waterfall just off the main road. The falls can be observed from the upper road level or you can travel down a set of two stairs to go to the base of the falls. Just gorgeous and well worth the visit! Great photography options. If you want to avoid the crowds, get there early morning or later in the evening. An exceptional waterfall!

Wow!!!!!! Gorgeous waterfall!!! You can drive right up to the steps and walk down, there are many surrounding areas to hike too. We came March 2020 so it was a little chilly for swimming but what a wonderful place this would be in warmer months to cool off. We had lunch on a bench with our family while watching the falls. It gets pretty busy off and on but when you see how magnificent it is you’ll understand why. Short drive into the park and so worth it.

Rich Richards | Mar 23, 2018

It's not a hike. It's about a 200ft walk to the viewing area. Then for a closer look, about 30 steps down to the base of the falls.

Yes, best on a leash...just want to be careful with your dog as the Falls produce are rather strong current. Not to mention the rocks are slippery, enjoy!
