A beautiful park with a trail with a few small waterfalls. It is under a mile long but has many steps and a few wet areas. Take the George trail (.75 miles) if you want to see the waterfalls.

This trail is fun, and reminds me of Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca, NY. The main trail is technically easy and fun, but be mindful that the rim trail is entirely roots and unkempt stairs with no railings. It’s not ideal for kids. Overall, this is a short, 50-60 minute gorge that is well worth the visit.

It’s an amazing adventure and the views don’t stop coming!!! 3 big waterfalls smacked inside the Gorge Trail! Gorgeous views of small Cascades and of course the waterfalls!!! Plenty facilities to enjoy and go around with!!! Great for all ages and the swimming is fantastic!!! Last day for a swim is September 1/2025!

Well kept restrooms for a state park. Good distance between bathrooms on trails as well. But you know as well as I - if you gotta go, you gotta go, and that's the woods. Beautiful gorge trail with serene east and west ridge trail as well. Absolutely love this place just for the hike, but there's picnic areas and camping as well.

One of my favorites near Rochester. The Gorge trail allows you to walk through the water or along side it leading to two waterfalls where you can swim. Beyond that, we went up the many stairs that led to the top and hiked through the woods to get back to the front near the parking lot. You get a view of the horizon and mostly trees, maybe about one mile long. Our group of kids ranging from 5 yo to 12 yo made it through, but there are a few more stairs even after the big one at the beginning (and the decline at the end near the lot). The Gorge path is obviously the most beautiful. It seems that the park frowns on swimming at the waterfalls because one of the employees was telling people to move along (could be they had chairs set up to stay). There is a natural pool at the beginning of the Gorge trail and swimming is allowed during hours where lifeguards are on duty. There are three different depths - deep end, 4ft, and shallow. There is a picnic area with many tables and grills and a playground near the two parking lots. There is also a shelter or two that you can rent. Apparently when it's at capacity, they do not allow any more cars in with exception to those who are staying at the camp grounds, which you can drive to the park or walk to the Gorge trail. Overall, a beautiful park and the campgrounds are great too. I love that we can get in the water and it's a doable hike for most people.
