Bash Bish Falls State Park

We used to come here pre pandemic. Things changed. No more access to the water, the pool or the river. You cannot even go down for some cool selfies. All blocked. The ranger explained due to overcrowding during the pandemic, the water quality changed, too much litter and they changed the rules. I guess its all us people to blame... So you can go to the top edge now in the end of the trail that's about it. They really watch for people trying to get in. The trail is still the same 3/4 mile each way medium difficulty plenty of uneven surfaces with rocks and small elevation areas. My 2 year old and 4 year old managed tho in 25 minutes each way. Without strillers, you definitely cannot take even the most rugged stroller there. I was wearing slides and did fine too. So it's not your extreme hiking activity for sure. Porto potties both ends of the trail. Very few people compared to what I remember I guess bc it's not as much fun any more. They should do something in the end to attract people, make it more rewarding and exhiiting. otherwise it's a bit disappointing when you get there. You see a wall of plastic orange construction barriers.... and the falls behind them. Snap a shot and head back. Still gorgeous tho. Just out of your reach...
