"Perfect short day hike - could be done in ~1.5 hours if you just go to the waterfall and back. Awesome hike on a hot day with plenty of pockets of shade along the path. Good amount of parking and the QR code makes it really easy to pay ($5 for day pass)."

"This is a great walk from the Mercy Road parking area. It costs 3.00 a day and it is worth it. It's about 3 miles round trip and it's a flat walk all the way. It's great for those who don't hike, for kids, and for older people who need to get in some exercise but don't have the stamina for a mountain hike. Best of all there is a seasonal waterfall at the end of the hike. It is a lot of reward for a little work. So get outside and see a waterfall"

"Great flat trail (but with some rocks)! The waterfall was nice because of the march rains!"
