This park is very nice except for a few things. The roads are rough and uneven. It's a bit confusing where to check in and not always easy to turn around in the park. The power plant on the other sid… Full review by Tracy W
How difficult is the trail to the falls? My 75 year old aunt is in good physical condition, but I want to make sure it isn't too dangerous for her.

The ground is mostly flat with the exception of the steel cable bridge was taking out by a falling tree, so people are walking down into the little drainage depression and coming back up the other side... maybe 25-30" down and up spanning about 25-30 feet. There is a place in the path that has two steps...about 10" each. If memory serves me right, there is a walkaround at this point too....don't remember. There is a bench to rest about 2/3 the way to the falls. Other than that I think she will do fine. Don't forget to walk the route "backwards" that is the shortest way by far! And it's not that long. Maybe a 6 minute walk? Hope this helps.

No, you cannot drive to the waterfall. But It isn't far. I think a walk of about 6 or 7 minutes was all it took...but only if you walk the route backwards. But the signs will show you the fastest way if that is what you are looking for. The water is only about waist deep (in a very small spot)...and very cool, but not so cold you cannot acclimate to it. It was just a trickle when we were there, but it's still a cool place to go for free.
