Have been visiting here since I was a kid. For 39+ years now. Went out just the other day looking to see fit to take granddaughter for a few SR pics. Water was flowing in falls, lake was full and serene, very quiet & peaceful.. ONLY some folks don't know how to take their trash with them. Shotgun shells laying around, broken bottles, the land is our responsibility, we are the keepers.. ..

It was a dry hole for us, but it would be a very short hike from the parking lot by the lake.
