Thanks to previous reviewer whose info made us check this out. A slippery beginning down a steep little trail then levels off to an easy ¼ mile walk to the falls. Water level is pretty low, so a lot of rocks to jump around on, but not so low that there was no swimming hole. It was so much fun to try to get down to the swimming hole — someone tied a rope line, and our 9 y.o. was able to «rappel» down to the area, as were many other kids. They all had a blast swimming in the icy cold water, and jumping off the rocks. If it was 20 degrees warmer in the water, it would have been filled with adults, too. Nice crowd, too, not rednecky, just families from the nearby campground. Check out the local cemetery while you’re here, just don’t leave any trash — people do, and it’s just too annoying to pick up after them. Leave no trace, please.
