Mountain Bike
DO not head down the trail to the left it is for hiking/walking only. Ride up the hill till you hit pavement. Mostly a really rough dirt road passable by some suvs, but with a few really rough spots great for riding on. some mud here and there but not enough to obstruct a good ride. about .6 mile in there is a waterfall off to the left (follow the stream) this is the namesake of the trail.
