Quarry Falls — Attraction in Highlands

It was fun if you stay at the bottom in the small slower area, but it still has current, and no climbing. Multiple times a week rescue workers and emts are needed to save people from falls off the rocks or being caught in the current. My husband serves as a cautionary tale. He was climbing around the rocks with my son when 1 slick rocked caused him to be taken by the falls. He fell 40ft, busted his head open and had to hang on to a log sticking out of the freezing water for over 30 minutes waiting for a rescue team. He is one of the lucky ones I was told by emts because many deaths have been attributed to these very pretty but dangerous falls.

I dont recommend for small kids or elderly. Go see Bridal Viel falls and Dry Falls that's not far from here.
