Hiked out to the falls guided by our B&B hosts and their dog. A little hard to get to good views of the falls but still a nice hike and some gorgeous photos More

“A great place for a walk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2012

We took a short walk here in April 2012. Beautiful location. River was low and I imagine it is amazing when the snows melt & the river fills. Did not see the falls as we did not have time. The kids enjoyed exploring the woodland. Would be a lovely place to picnic / paddle / bathe in warmer weather. More

Perfect place to take a casual hike with young children and/or elderly folks. Likely too crowded in Summer. Also not for the athletic outdoor crowd More

The park is great with kids who are comfortable walking a fair bit. There is so much to see around the park and there are lots of shallow spots for kids to play. Its beautiful and great for photos! More
