The hike to reach the wilderness area's eponymous falls is about 2.5 miles in length. It follows alongside a lovely little creek, so your hike is accompanied by the soundtrack of running water.
After checking out the falls, head on back to town for Cool River Adventures. This fun center is well-known for its tubing during the warm months, but the aerial adventure park is open year-round.
You'll also find several adventure courses that are great for kids and adults alike. These feature mini-ziplines, swinging stairs, rope bridges, and more.
