Quick little hike with a beautiful pay off at the end. You have to park in the Y parking lot and walk 0.3 miles to the trail head. Only 0.7 miles once you get to the trail head. The gorge itself is pretty amazing and then the waterfall in the middle makes it that much prettier.

Great short hike experience, with a nice little waterfall to refresh yourself at the end of your hike.

More of a walk than a hike. You have to park at the YMCA and then follow the signs through a residential neighborhood. You will feel like youre going through someones back yard but the trip is well worth it.

Good little hike alongside the stream. Took my tripod and did some photography for school. I didnt see the beginning of the trail from the YMCA parking lot but I found it on the walk back. A simple little arrow would help for those not familiar with the trailhead.

This was a very interesting trail. Most of it flat with the river running beside it. You cross a small bridge and the trail continues. There are several spots were the trail ends you can either walk the banks of the water or climb a little cliff and down some rock. As you get closer to the fall the trail is very narrow and up hill. You have to hold on to the trees for leverage. I personal was not able to make it up the last path. But many people (man) were able. It is worth the trip. But go with someone. You have to park at the YMCA and walk 1/2 mile to the trail head. Very friendly people. Take a good camera.Enjoy the trip. I am going g to try again.

Beautiful, easy hike/walk. Some rock hopping is required to get close to the falls but nothing too crazy. Dogs are welcome but my dog did not like getting close to the falls. I think it was too load.

We are having a heatwave right now and it is at least 15 degrees cooler up on the trail. Park at the school if you dont want to be ticketed. The trail starts by the red shed at the side of that lot. Its a short path to a residential street and then continues into the woods. Lots of bugs so do bring the spray. Slick rocks too so just pay attention and youll be fine. Easy hike.

This is a hidden gem. A short 15 mins brisk walk will lead you to a beautiful Waterfall. Even at 109 F youll not feel the heat due to its dense green foliage.
