Pewit's Nest

"Scenic, great place to hike. Due to close barriers I couldn't explore the waterfalls but still peaceful, good hike experience. They have so many varieties of berries , plants & squirrels."

"Beautiful place (take the path on the right when it splits). But the prettiest path crosses the little stream and goes up along the gorge; straight back into a slightly swampy area, then up to the left. It’s barely marked, except by the foot traffic of everyone who came before us!"

"Quite literally a hidden oasis, off the beaten path and not as frequently populated as the nearby hit state park Devil’s Lake. There’s a small gravel lot to park that can maybe hold a dozen vehicles, and then a short five minute walk along a dirt path to the water. We took a stroller along no problem. The water is ice cold even at summer’s end. Some folks brave it and Wade into the tunnel to get close to the falls. Beautiful spot for photos, and certainly a neat experience if you’ve never been here. September 2023 Edit: Although signage specifically states visitors are not to hike past fences, there are obvious trails that extend upstream on both sides of the gorge, all the way back to the property boundary. While neither trail leads you to anything more spectacular than the main gorge, cliffs and waterfall, there are a few smaller waterfalls and less of a crowd upstream. If you decide to disobey the property restrictions and follow the trails, you do so at your own risk! There are areas where the trail edges dangerously close to cliff drop offs, narrow trails along rock walls, and ample opportunity for accidents. In the short while I was there I saw no less than three groups of people wearing flip flops, hiking in dangerous places. The path that takes you upstream on the far side requires a creek crossing first, followed by a downstream muddy trail. There are sections where the path crosses into private property with a deer hunting tree stand. Please avoid this area."

"The trails are beautiful and the waterfalls are neat though getting to the upper falls is very difficult! The lower fall is amazing to swim to, but the water is freezing. It is the perfect getaway on a hot summer's day."

"Short paved trail to a pretty creek bed and small waterfall. If you are looking for a short trail, this is for you! If the trail is dry I would think a wheelchair could be managed, I seen a few strollers, but maybe not if muddy. You need to go in the creek about mid-shin high to see waterfall (June) and if willing to swim you can go over by the waterfall (see pics). My kids enjoyed wading in the creek and looking for crawdads and minnows."
