How far do you have to walk to get to falls or is it right off parking area and is falls marked or do you need to know where they are.

You don't have to leave your car to see the falls... Very small parking area directly over the bridge. You can't miss them.

there's a great swimming area on top to take kids and dogs. cute beach and picnic spot. good for the whole family. you should definitely be mindful of snakes (copperheads and timber rattlers). nothing to worry about if you're pay attention.

Agree with above post, you do not have to leave the car to see, roll down the window and you feel the mist.

There is no walking required to see the falls. You can see them from your car, or park and walk/hike trails around and up top of the falls.

The path to the top is directly after the parking lot (small row of parking spaces)

you don't have to walk to see the fall's ..we walked on top of the falls that's awesome but I would not recommend taking small children on top of there
