Description

From the mowed area, follow a well-worn path across a small stream and through an area of blown down trees. On the left, there is a side trail that follows a dry creek bed leading to a view of the upper falls. Continue straight to reach a different view of the waterfall and another steeper path to the full view of the waterfall and a swimming hole.

Other Information

Please take care on the slippery rocks near the falls.

This is a dangerous trail that is not maintained. No markers on trail (big fail)
Steep declines have no railing protection. Listed as easy moderate but should be moderate-difficult. Trails should be maintained better like DEC trails. Not recommended especially for pets and children.

The trailhead could use a sign. From the parking area, it appears that the trail starts out right off the road, close to the river, but that entryway is not an easy walk.
