Great place for a moderate hike. Moderate for a 50+ out of shape couple. After a rain there are slick spots and some mud so recommend hiking boots on those days. We stayed close to the river on our hike which made for a very pleasant and shady stroll to see the falls

Is a great pit stop in case anyone needs to use the bathroom or wants a place to have lunch at. There are picnic tables and trails with flowers! A beautiful stream passes through, it's a great trail to walk in case you don't want to do an extreme hike!

Questions & Answers

Is this park worth it?

Asad Khan | May 1, 2018

Yes. Very worth it. If your on the northside (i beleive its the northside), facing towards grandfather across the lake.. i guess its one of the prettiest views/scenes on the parkway. The hike around the lake is easy and short, but if you cross the parkway and go up in the camp grounds theirs a 5 mile loop trail (boone fork trail) that is also awesome. A breif section of mountains to sea trail also runs along with boone fork for about 2-3 miles. That whole area of the parkway is a real treat to explore.

Are there any trails here that are good for small children? They love little rivers along the trail that they can throw rocks into. Is there anything like that?

Jesse Ingram | May 1, 2019

If you walk across the bridge there is a trail that will fork off into 2 directions. The first will go straight in front of you and the other will fork right. If you take the right trail you will eventually come up to a beachy area where they might be able to throw rocks. It is past the beaver info place and will be on the right side.

Are there easy bike trails?

Terese Blanchard | Apr 30, 2020
Douglas Scott | May 1, 2020

No I believe all the trails are hiking.

Has anyone ever not got a walk up site (first come first serve)? I am heading up Friday for memorial day weekend and worried I will not be able to get a walk up tent site. All the ones you can reserve are already booked.

Matthew | Apr 30, 2020
Lauren Purdy | May 1, 2020

Unfortunately, I really wouldn't expect a walk up site to be available. :/ mainly because you're coming on one of the busiest weekends people come to visit.
