Nice walk, manageable for everyone in our party from preschoolers to seniors. Walkways were a bit cluttered from leaves but no harm, no foul there. The address on Google doesn't lead to the waterfall area, double check where you're going if you want to see that!

I hiked the Loop and Fox trails and enjoyed them both. The park is well maintained and the bathrooms are clean. I didn’t know the historical significance of the site so I appreciated the signs providing details. I understand there are plans for expansion and I look forward to those improvements.
