About This Trail

Imported description
It is often wet and slippery even though there is good footwear for this waterfall. A simple loop is taken that will get you to the most of the falls in the park. It is easy to do a loop at campsites, though the walk to the actual headquarters is much closer to the campsites. You must follow the trail once you begin at the sign. It is recommended that you turn right out of the way at the splits on the Falls Trail. Next time you see a waterfall, it'll be your first. It is at the halfway point that it is possible to travel uphill instead of downhill when you take the bridge at Water's Meet. if you would like, simply follow the trail up and you are on your way to the Highland Trail, when there is a sign You can get to Lake Rose after you pass through the motorway carrcade.
