Upon seeing this waterfall, it is very apparent that it is not natural. I wanted to mention this first as it may disappoint some people (and even disappointed me to an extent), but San Francisco is not exactly known for having waterfalls, anyway. Despite being artificial, Huntington Falls is still quite pretty and fits well with the serene lake setting. The foliage surrounding the fall is what makes it shine, the variety of large plants and blooming flowers making it look like it was taken straight out of a forest. Families and tourists will certainly like it most, as it is very picturesque. If crossing the waterfall via the stepping stones by the bottom isn't enough, you can also ascend the waterfall using the stairs and look down on it. I would be careful, though, as the steps can be rather steep and uneven. If you want to spend more time here, there are a few benches at the foot of the waterfall.
Overall, while it is a "fake" waterfall, it still offers most of the beaty that a real one would have. Why not visit it? You probably don't get to see a waterfall...

You can rent paddle boats to cruise around the lake if you want. We just stumbled on it, but had we known we would have packed a picnic and made an entire afternoon of it. We probably spent two hours there letting the kids explore and take...
