Hiking

If you decide to hike down the gully on the Blue Trail, you will eventually make it to the Claverack Creek. If you follow the creek a couple hundred feet up stream, you will be at the base of High Falls. This is a cool place to view the cascades, but don't get too close to the actual falls since there is a strong undertow where the water comes down.
