Beautiful area, be careful to follow the trail map carefully because my group got off course some how and ended up near someone's house on a road. A member of our group had to walk back to the car on the main road and pick us up! Beautiful scenery throughout the walk including the waterfall! Some steeper hill sections which may be a but tough for young children or older folks
This preserve my family and I go to often, this is my husbands favorite nature trail. I feel that the trails are not marked very well at all, some end others get very dangerous and some are hard to even know if it's a trail at all! However if on the right trail that leads down to the waterfalls then it's a nice walk and beautiful views, but go near waterfalls with caution as there are no fences or boundaries placed, especially if you have kids or dogs! All and all this place is perfect for a nature gal like me or a photographer.
I did the Blue and Yellow trails with my small dog. Although he made it just fine, the trails had very thick tree roots throughout which scraped his legs and feet as we walked through. Just a heads up in case you bring a shorter dog. Also, the waterfalls were dry (end of August) so I'm sure they're better in the spring, but the trails are probably muddier then too. We'll come back then and try again. Overall, it's a beautiful hike and we had a blast.
Great hike close to home. A little questionable with a three year old with the steep drop offs but we had fun and he could do it pretty easily. Well maintained. Passed quite a few people and the lot was over filled.
The waterfalls ate very cool but this place gets super crowded. I recommend an early start to avoid the crowds.
