The trail to the following local waterfall is less than a mile in length, making it perfect for beginner hikers or those who don’t want to spend an entire day exploring.

Jamie Alvarenga for Only In Your State
It's almost unbelievable how easy it is to access this spot.

You'll encounter minor elevation changes and boulders along the way. Be sure to wear shoes with good tread, especially if it has recently rained.

During warmer months, you may also spot people cooling down in the water. It's a shallow depth, perfect for children to splash around.

Keep this place in mind when you're seeking out an outdoorsy adventure this fall. You won't be disappointed!
