High Falls Overlook is only about half a mile from the closest parking area and offers an awesome view of the tallest waterfall in DuPont Forest. The 120-foot waterfall also has a picnic shelter that has a different perspective of the falls.

Hiking

You can access the base of the 120-foot tall waterfall by taking a short spur trail below the overlook and picnic area. The trail features a lot of steps and can be tough if you weren't planning on a full-on hike, so be prepared to work a bit to get down and up the access trail.
