2 spots for hiking: one down a hill to waterfall and another on a rather flat trail next to the creek. Fun spot to wade in the creek with the kids. Bring a picnic or let the dogs run around.

Free parking across the street make this the perfect place to hit up when you have some time to kill. The walk into the falls is rocky but very quick. Make sure you bring your camera, or plan on spending some time skipping rocks or marveling at the large waterfall that comes from Cornell.

Perfect for those that have non-motorized boats such as kayaks or canoes. There are no boats for rent, but bring your paddles and get out on the water. There is no swimming at the park and we don't recommend you allow your pets to wade in the water either.
