Hike Description:

Pick up the paved trail at the north end of the parking lot that leads past the partial replica of a McDonnell Douglas C-19 airplane.  The trail crosses Kings Branch and Farmers Branch on footbridges then leads to the waterfall in just over a quarter mile.

The waterfall drops in two sections.  The water level was low when I visited and I was able to climb down to the base of the upper section.
