I've taken my dog for a few hikes around the waterfall. It's a very short hike without too many inclines. There are a couple of steeper ones at the beginning (for anyone with a bad knee). The path is really beautiful, but you also have the option of getting on the road if you're not feeling the terrain. The last time I hiked here my dog got crazy by the end of the hike--she really wanted to get to the car as fast as possible. Turns out a bear had left some paw prints in the soil near the path.
