Hiking
Nice opportunity to stretch the legs on a short hike. The falls are more like cascades but nevertheless really pretty - but the lower (and prettier) section needs sure-footedness in order to access (it’s steep, in parts muddy and slippery and rocky). Parking was no problem when we were there in October- but I can imagine that in summer this place can get crowded.
