This trail is a 8k loop and just wonderful! By the water the whole way- not sure if water in summer. Great hike and great views!
Lovely hike. Not as easy as some hikes labeled moderate. Little elevation gain, but many stairs and rocks. $12.50 admission. I’d buy an annual pass if I lived locally. Clean restrooms!
short hike. water fall was worth it. There's an entrance fee of 12.50 per person
Amazing views! Pretty easy hike but rocky going up and down. Highly recommend! The falls were breathtaking. Go to the bathroom before hiking.
Loved it. Beautiful and the right amount of challenge for vacation. Only drawback was it was hella crowded. Most were wearing their masks responsibly.
Very nice and well maintained but you have to pay 12.50$ to hike lol.
Whie the waterfall was nice and the trail was maintained, I am not sure what the $12.50 per person was for. This is a shot hike of 2 miles and very easy for an avid day hiker or person in good shape. The trail was overcrowed, constantly running into and waiting on others. County Parks and others are longer, more challenging, and free or parking fee only.
