Beautiful short hike. Worth the visit if youre around.
We did it 3 adults with a toddler (In a carrier).
Walked in to the "stone church" and then took the yellow upper loop trail. It's a bit of an uphill climb but still perfect for regular folk wanting a nice walk through nature that is not very challanging. The route is signed well and clear. The whole hike was about 3 miles.
Preferably visit with long pants because of ticks.
Awesome place went yesterday in weekdays almost no people had place for my self. Super cool place to visit easy to get there park at the nearby school parking lot.
Trails were a little confusing. The Cavern was amazing. The scenery was picturesque!
First of all, thanks for the reviews mentioning the parking issues. It is annoying trying to figure out where to park, then walk to the trail. I am posting a picture of the sign that mentions places that allow you to park. Second issue is exactly how to reach the actual Stone Church cave itself. Once you cross the first bridge, you will see red and blue arrows pointing to the left. Instead, walk along the left side of the creek and you will come to the cave in ten to fifteen minutes walking carefully. Finally, this cave/waterfall series is so scenic and unique that it is worth the challenges. Rushing water, the rugged beauty, the history makes this hike worth walking.
Beautiful walk in and amazing cave & waterfall. Be aware of where visitors are welcome to park.
