Description

The trail starts from the sign in front of the visitor center and heads towards the kiosk. From the kiosk, the trail descends slightly to a small viewpoint spur trail. Taking a right, leads down to a picnic table at the top of the falls. Taking a left at the junction, leads down to the cascades. Follow the red blazes.

The trail eventually reaches a bridge over the stream. Here, you can either continue straight or take a right over the bridge. Across the bridge (on the right) there is a second small viewpoint spur trail. The Gorge Trail follows a fence along the ridge with great views of the falls, crosses a bridge at the lower end, then runs back up the other side of the stream.

Flora & Fauna

Flora: Eastern Hemlock, Wintergreen.
