This will be about a 15 minute walk/hike each way. Totally worth it for the beautiful woody trail and gorgeous waterfall view. Nature, we are in you!

Start at trailhead from parking lot. Walk down the path and over the wooden bridge (no trolls were present at the time of writing this).

You will be following the green trail the whole way to the letterbox (markers are on the trees). More specific directions below:

· When the trail forks, go right (uphill)

· When the trail forks again, stay straight (technically this would be the “right” trail)

· If there is a stream down to your left, you’re going the right way!

· Ignore the odd little trail that goes off to the left, keep going straight! Green trail all the way!

· At the next fork, take the left trail towards the sound of water.

· Follow this path over a small wooden plank bridge to the observation/viewing area. Behold the county’s tallest waterfall!

· Look under the big rocks (great for sitting!) down by the fence. You’re looking for a small square container with a red top, labeled “High Falls” and “Letterbox.”

· Enjoy the view! 😊

Walk back the way you came to get back to the parking lot. Please do a tick check before you leave!

Hike length: 1 mile
