👍 Pretty cool trail, steepish hills, cute little water falls, not very challenging so good to bring kids/beginners.

    It was a decent place. A good hike if you want to raise your heart beat a lil. The brooks and waterfalls aren't the best but still worth seeing I think. It's calming. Not much parking though.

    This park offered a nice early morning hike. The enterance to the park is on a small dead-end street. To get to the waterfalls there is a mostly uphill trek for about 20 minutes. After you experience the first falls, continue up a bit (to the blue trail) to see a secondary fall. Overall, enjoyed this greatly.

    Beautiful little piece of land, off the beaten path and a moderately challenging uphill hike to the top where you can see the waterfall perfectly. There are no fences or railings along the steep edge, so beware if you plan to bring children. The old stone fireplace and pallet-styles bridges over the brook are quaint. Tons of good photo opportunities! Usually not a lot of people there, thankfully it's still a very peaceful place. Hope it stays that way!

    A great wooded park that's not too far away from Sleeping Giant park but far less people around. I recommend going after some heavy rainfall so you'll be able to see the waterfall in full. Sadly, the waterfall was a bit dry when I went so the pictures don't showcase it well. Bear in mind that snakes are around and can hide in the waterfall pools.

    Excellent place to walk. So peaceful, quite and full of big trees. There are some blue marks (longest trails) and the red marks are for the normal trail to the small waterfall.

    We enjoyed the trail and had a great time with family! But we couldn’t easy to find the falls!

    My first time. It is a difficult hike because it's steep but go at your pace and enjoy! I left my 2 sticks just inside the trail a few steps on the left. It helps me to use them in general but they were necessary for the hike coming down which is just as hard as going up.
