Hike Description:
From the south end of the parking lot, pick up Triple Falls Trail that crosses Little River on a footbridge and goes under the road. In about a quarter-mile, there is a nice view from the trail of all three sections.
Just past the overlook are stairs that lead down to the base of the middle section of the falls. Use caution down here and don't go into areas marked as closed.
You can look down the lowest drop of the waterfall from here.
