There are a few different spots from which you can view Triple Falls: the shelter, overlook area, and down the stairs at the base of the actual falls. There are some barriers keeping people from getting too close to the falls, so make sure not to cross over these if you come down to the water's edge. This is a really cool stair-step cascade that is one of the more popular vistas in the park.

Hiking

From this spot on a wooden viewing platform you get great views over Triple Falls. The nearby Triple Falls shelter is a great spot for a picnic with a view of the waterfall, but be sure to pack out all your trash as there are no trash cans. Dogs are welcome here, but must be kept on a leash. Just a bit past the shelter is a long staircase that you can take down to the river.
