Very short, easy walk from parking to the lookout platform. There's a trail for the adventurous that goes further down for different views, but you'll have to make use of tree roots and branches for handholds. Very steep, but worth it if it's dry and you're able.

Pretty good hike down to the falls. There is some elevation change but nothing drastic. You will cross the water several times but only one didn’t have a great way across so be prepared for that. Gorgeous falls is the pay off for the walk. Took us 2 hours round trip taking our time.
