About This Trail

Imported description

This is a hidden gem hidden behind a small campground. Go to the left if you want to park until the road ends at the parking lot. It is not hard to return to the falls with a set of stairs. You can see the glen and the falls from the top of the steps. The falls spills into the glen. It's a good place to chill out in the hot summer months. "You will take a lot of pictures but you won't get much hiking in." The trail is only open from May to October.
