Great place, just hope all the tourists to overwelm the area. It is crowded for obvious reasons. Park along the side of the road. If you are there in the morning, the water is chilly, even for… Full review by jim p

Beautiful and easily accessible. We had just gotten done swimming at Sliding Rock, otherwise we would have gotten closer and enjoyed the swimming hole and spray but maybe next time! Full review by wheelerwagon

Q:
I’m 6 months pregnant and would love to go this weekend. I have a beagle mix and would like to know if the stairs are safe to go down?
A:
The stairs are in good condition but they do get slick because of the spray from the falls. It’s a relatively gentle descent. If you are active and Dr allows safe exercise for you and your baby, …

The stairs are in good condition but they do get slick because of the spray from the falls. It’s a relatively gentle descent. If you are active and Dr allows safe exercise for you and your baby, then it would probably be fine. Also, I hope your doggy doesn’t pull you when on a leash. You will need to hold the rails and go slowly if you decide to go. Personally, I would have done it when I was young and pregnant. Just be careful and enjoy!

I think the answer would depend upon how deep a meditative state you are talking about...if you thinking more along the lines of just doing some quiet reflection...the early morning would likely do just fine...and if you talking about something more then the real early morning. As for night meditating, you could pretty much do that anywhere (and not deep in the woods) along the stream, since at night you won't see the falls hardly at all, but only hear the relaxing white noise of the flowing stream.

Any picnic area for a group?

Actually several picnic areas close by with picnic tables, but lots of folks just head down to the river at the falls and eat there, but here are NO tables there. It can be a zoo down there if it …
