This small county park absolutely begs visitors to pack a lunch and linger. It’s a lovely place for a break along the International Selkirk Loop, or a leg stretcher on the way to Gardner Cave farther north.
There are two trailheads: one at the south end of the parking lot for the lower trail to the base of the falls, and the other at the north end of the parking lot for the middle and upper trails.
From the south end of the parking lot, the lower trail crosses a footbridge, turns right, and leads downhill to a crystal-clear pool at the base of the falls where visitors can play on a hot day. This trail is well-maintained packed gravel.
The middle and upper trails begin at the north end of the parking lot. The first part of the trail is paved and there are several picnic tables. After the trail becomes gravel, you’ll see a fork. The upper trail (on the right) climbs more steeply and is not well maintained, but with care, you can hike past the upper falls. The left fork brings you to a well-built observation area, where you can see the upper and lower falls. The trail continues past the observation area along a crooked set of railings. This part of the trail is not well maintained and is best suited for the sure-footed.
