About This Trail
A short hike to one of the popular waterfalls can be had. Affirmative: waterfall with two swimming holes. You can swim in the bottom hole of the pool, as it is larger than an olympic size pool. Two pools are able to provide swimming, diving, or simply floating. The water is refreshing, as the pools are very deep. People often slide, jump, and jump into the deep pool on the upper part of the falls. It's a busy place in the summer so expect to see people there during the weekends or holidays. There is a campsite above the falls at the end of the trail. It's a shared trail so keep the orange blazes in mind. It's possible to get down a steep rock face to the base of the falls.
