Parks & Nature
Hiking, cycling, climbing. There are easy hiking trails up to the falls as well as a few more challenging options. Great for families. This is a really nice hike when it's not too busy. You can walk from the bottom up, or from the top down - two parking options. Coming from the top can be steep for some people. There is also a roundabout hike starting from the lower lot that is about 3 miles round trip and more challenging (that loop is not recommended for small children)
