About This Trail

Imported description

The lower part of the trail is accessible when it is not too wet. There is a parking fee. The trail is located off a marked parking lot 6 miles down State Road 56. There is a fee for parking in the parking lot. The hike is over 1.5 miles and ends at the overlooks of the falls. There is a small section to the 1st overlook that is not paved. The earlier overlooks are easier to reach with stairs and handrails, but it's a bit difficult to get to the top. You can either descend to the parking lot or go another 1.5 miles to the parkade.
