Before you go
- Several narrow paths quickly join into an old road-like trail through the woods.
- The main falls area has no safe close access from below.
- The top of the falls and pools are easier to reach than the base.
- Use caution around slick ledges and gorge edges.
- This stop is more about varied brook scenery than one headline drop.
