Camp, Hike, and Swim
Sunset falls is the place for you if you are looking for an easy hike followed by a refreshing swim. The hike is perfect for all skill levels, and is only 0.1 miles long. Minimal supplies will be needed for your adventure! You can even bring your beloved pet, as long as they are on a leash.
The waterfall is majestic and is at it's most beautiful from April-August, with the water levels going down in September. The lower pool that the waterfall drains into is large, and gets deeper as you head toward the middle. Try to remain close to the land if you aren't a good swimmer.
Large smooth rocks surround the waterfall and are the perfect place to watch over your swimmers, place your belongings, sunbathe, and have a picnic.
Although it is a little harder to access in the winter, it is still open, so if you are determined to see the Falls, then you will still be able to go and explore, just make sure to dress warm!
