My family (girl 12, girl 10 and boy 7, wife and myself) went here and it’s a VERY cool place and worth the wait to park. We got there at 10am on beautiful day in July and waited in line to park until 11:30 but it was worth it. We left at 3:30 and there was still a line but smaller. Also seemed like a lot of people left around lunch time, so there are peaks and lulls for the busyness.
The good thing about waiting was it helped regulate how many people were there as it would be too many people if everyone got in when they arrived. It was still busy but plenty of room to spread out and find your own spot. It’s $5 parking pass which is good all day at all the state parking spots.
We ended up spending 3 and half hours there playing in the river and on the rocks. It reminded me of lower falls but less water slides but more falls and rock formations. Can’t wait...

Recommend walking up the path beyond the initial entrance to the baths, where there are tons of flat rocks and gentle falls when the water level is low. We brought our two daughters age 4 and 2. 2 was hesitant to get in but loved the "big rocks," and 4 was against all of it at first but eventually had a blast. After refusing to use their own feet to walk out to the baths, they were both able to walk the whole trail back to the lot (with the promise of a cookie at the end). Point being it's very doable even with littles. Bring snacks! Trail is flat enough for a...
Read moreBeautiful easy hike to the waterfall. It took us about 15 minutes walking slowly from the parking lot. There are some roots and rocks on the path, but easily manageable with a stroller as long as it's not too wet. We went in spring and it was raining earlier that day. The path was pretty muddy and had some puddles. Be prepared with tick and mosquito repellent. For safety have enough adults supervising little ones near the falls. We did not get a chance to walk up higher where there are rocks for climbing and probably gentler water to wade in because the kids were too cold. But we are looking forward to coming back in the summer when there's less water and...
