Parking Lot / Trailhead / Pavilion
There is plenty of parking in the parking lot area. Please be kind and leave a place for cars to drive through in order to make multiple rows. From here, you will need to check-in at the pavilion.Â
Pond
The pond is located right next to the parking lot. It has a pier and a few chairs for you to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Waterfall
The waterfall is a short hike to the parking lot. You will take the trail that is perpendicular to the road and follow it into the woods, down a hill, and to the creekbed where the waterfall is located. To hike down to the bottom of the waterfall, cross the creek on the bridge and follow the ridgeline. You will switchback to go down and behind the first drop of the waterfall. Continue on the trail behind the falls until you hit the next switchback. The path is easy to find and follow but is a physically challenging trail.
The Point
The hike to the point is very short and easy. Follow the signs and you will end up with a beautiful view of the surrounding area.Â
