Some of the most beautiful walking trails I've been on. Well-maintained, calm atmosphere. Carried our son in a Snugli and he had a blast!

these falls are amazing, and there is an easy walk to the bottom falls through the rain forest, but you do have to come back up!

Englishman River Falls Park is a lovely park off the beaten path. Lots of parking and the Main Falls are only steps away! no need to take a hike! Nice viewing and seating areas for enjoying the falls.....path from parking lot to falls is short and wide enough to accommodate wheel chairs. there is a bridge spanning the gorge part... More

The walk though the giant cedars is wonderful and the falls are impressive. there is a great little swimming hole below the lower falls. But only swim there in the heat of summer.

The natural beauty of trees, rivers and quiet walks along the well worn paths. The song of native birds and the opportunity to see some of the species that are heard during the walk.In summer the quiet flow of the river and in winter the roar of raging waters. There is a danger of being too close to the waters... More

This is a great spot to visit any time of the year and even more spectacular during the rainy season. The falls are spectacular and there are many trails to walk. The main ones are well marked and easy walking and there are others that offer more challenge and variety. The woods are full of old-growth trees and some spectacular... More

This is a great day trip for stay-cationers, and a fantastic destination for vacationers. Its pretty great all times of the year. Lots of parking, lots of trail options. I also enjoy camping here, it's quite and peaceful. Been here many, many times.

We walk here frequently with our dog. Our favorite is a lovely forested loop trail that takes in both the upper and lower falls. We bring many visitors to see the falls and go for a walk.

The paths are carefully laid out and safe. The falls are breathtaking. Come at sunset to capture a unique view.
