Campbell Falls State Park — Attraction in Norfolk

Somewhat challanging hike keeps the crowds away. My elementary aged kids were able to enjoy it but were tired after. (A bonus) The hike is moderately hilly and well maintained with many small foot bridges to even out the trail. There are several large inclines leading up to, and down to the falls.

We will definitely return here in the future at some...
