"What an awesome park. Plenty of parking, kids play area, walking paths, etc. The waterfalls are absolutely stunning. The one is difficult to get to, but there is a viewing platform. The other has a really nice multi teared platform with parking and benches. Well worth the stop if you are anywhere close."
"Decent park. It’s usually in good repair, but is prone to getting dirty just by general lack of care from the surrounding community (trash in splash pad area, garbage left scatter in playground area, etc)… but not horrible. There are bathrooms, which is great of you have smaller children. Splash pad is very small. If you have an adventurous child, I promise they will end up between the safety railing and the pretend waterfall cliff—I see children up here all the time and it’s easily accessible and dangerous. Playground has wheelchair/inclusive elements. It also has a baby/parent swing, climbing elements, a few slides, lots of seating, and musical play options. Easy access to surrounding nature trails."
"We have fell in love with this park and the boardwalk 4 minutes away from the hike though the rocks and natural stairs to the views of the waterfall and river nice trails shelters flushable toilets wonderful playground with splash pad we will continue to drive 1.5 hrs to enjoy this place"
"Wet day but worth the hike! Easy to manage trails but some tough parts to get to the falls. Falls were beautiful! Scenic overlooks were very nice and put in good locations. We took our small dog and she was able to manage the trails too!"
