"Great hiking spot with something for everyone. Waterfalls, views and woods. Some elevation at certain spots which might be a little challenging for young kids. But I still saw lots of kids around on the hike."
"The hike is very nice. 1st 2 miles are shaded with huge trees. The hike is not hard for kids, it might be tricky at some points. Dont forget to pay parking and put it on the dashboard"
"Wonderful hiking trails and breathtaking views. Loved it. Some challenging parts for novice hikers, but overall a great experience!"
"$10 parking fee. It has 4 charging spots for EVs. Very nice trial with great view and you can do some climbing with huge rocks!"
"My husband and I decided to try our first "moderate" level trail here. Parking was $10 (seems the standard for state parks). Staff was friendly, restrooms were clean. The trail itself was stunning. Posted signs marking paths took us through and over bridges, rocks, hills, forests and mountain sides. The views overlooking miles of forest were a true sight to behold. We got to see a little bit of everything. Lots of shaded areas along the trails. Lizards, birds and other small critters could be seen hanging close to the pathways as well. Definitely a good amount of people/groups hiking about so if you're looking for solitude, that may be something to keep in mind. We both had a great time and can't wait to being our kids for the less challenging trails. Highly recommend!"
