We had a wonderful day at the beautiful park with its amazing views and well-kept grounds. Opting for a self-guided tour, we enjoyed a delicious lunch with an incredible view. The food was simply amazing, adding to the overall experience.

We had a great time, this was much more fun than we expected, and the many levels of the waterfall pools and clean/fast moving water made it very enjoyable.

I’m am so glad we spent the time to see this beautiful location. I would highly recommend it to anyone that is travelling with a rental car. Make sure to wear a good hiking pair of shoes and to spend a couple hours. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We sure hope to come return one day.

This place is very beautiful. Water is crystal clean and you can swim with fishes. The facility is also very clean and hike isn't too bad for kids either.

Tammy Hartzell

The water fall was beautiful and the facilities were very nice and well maintained. Also, when I came up the steps, I became afraid of heights and got dizzy. One of the men that work there helped me to the top. He was so friendly and very kind. I wish I asked his name.
