We went when there was still snow and ice on the ground so we were unable to walk the path. But it was beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful place. So peaceful and tranquil , my favorite stop of our weekend getaway. The park is beautifully maintained, the falls and bridge were gorgeous. Nature at its finest.

What a beautiful location. I'm so glad I took the opportunity to stop there. Seeing it in the snow was picturesque. Will go back on my next trip through. If it's warmer, I'll bring lunch and just sit and listen to the sound of the waterfall

Great place to take the family. Easy hiking, and plenty of parking. You are plenty of freedom of access, and are allowed to go out and explore the falls. Restrooms are located at lower falls.

We stopped at Cataract Falls on our way to another state park, and it was a pleasant side trip. The falls are pretty and easy to access, with both an upper and lower falls area to check out. It doesn’t take long to see both, but each has its ow...
n charm and is worth a look. The setting is peaceful, and there are plenty of spots where you can sit and enjoy the view or have a picnic. It’s not really a place to spend the whole day, but it’s a great stop to stretch your legs, take some photos, and enjoy a bit of nature before moving on to your next destination.
