So many trails, so little time

One of the best hiking parks I’ve ever been to. Miles and miles of trails; short, long, loops, overnights. This place has it all. Make sure you do three things while you’re there: hike to the bottom of the big waterfall (Fall Creek Falls), swim in the cascades next to the nature center, and stand on the edge of the bluff at Buzzard’s Roost (not the scenic overlook but the actual rock jutting over the valley, accessed by a small trail near the overlook parking lot.

Decent campground next to an amazing state park

The campground is decent although a bit plain in the winter when the trees are bare. But right across the street is Cummins Falls State Park. This park is an amazing find and will blow your mind with the single best swimming hole in the US.

An acquired taste

I was very skeptical about the sites being pier-like decks. Some of the sites just don’t have a lot of room, especially around the fire pit and bbq. But there are a couple gem spots if you scout before you book. We had a great time. Great place.
