Do you have to arrive early to get in on a sat/sun or can you show up later in the day and still get in ?

But its worth the wait the river ride is so much fun and u meet alot of other ppl. Its great. We go every weekend now. Enjoy

How far is it to the waterfalls from parking? Thanks

How far a walk is it From the parking lot to carry in your own kayak ?

When the parking lot is full they close the gates! It's always best to arrive earlier rather than later unless you have a backup plan. Tents ARE allowed for additional shade! Bring a wagon to haul your coolers full of ice though because it's a hike to get to the grass from the parking lot!

Depends on the number of people. They only allow a certain amount and after that they don't let anyone else in. Sorry but I do not remember the headcount number.
