The visitors center is currently closed but you can still walk the trail. A little past the center was a pull off area where you could park and walk to the bridge directly over the gorge. Great photo opportunity as the views are amazing. We got there early so there was no crowd. Later in the day we drove back by and it was so crowded it was holding up traffic so definitely get there early. Highly recommend.…

Having driven over the bridge occasionally over the years, we had never stopped to enjoy the gorge. This time we planned a day trip, with some hiking. We found breathtaking views from the bridge, which we walked several times, then took a 0.4 mile trail south, downhill to the bottom of the gorge, and came back up. The trail is broad and gentle, easy for anyone who likes to walk (we’re 74 and fit). Along the way there are occasional benches for rest, and places to view the gorge from the safety of a chain link fence above it. The surrounding woods are peaceful. At the bottom, one can scramble down to the rocky gorge base, wade in the water, and enjoy the sunshine. Additional trails go off to the north, and in the other side of the bridge one can walk 100 yards to the Nature Center and its Canopy Walk, but we will save that venture for another day.…

We thought this was a really neat stop. We walked up to the dam and also down to the river. It was so pretty especially with the foliage backdrop. We went around 9 on a Friday morning and only passed a few people. Everyone was respectful of the mask rule. I would stop here again!
