Amazing nature gorgeously situated in a hidden spot. I highly recommend this place It was lovely to visit Rutledge Falls. Located inside a private property and I am grateful that the owners allows people to enjoy it. Parking is on the roadside, across from the church. I noticed there was a portable bathroom across from the church. Make sure you read and follow the rules posted behind the fence by the bicycle racks. Be careful with the slippery rocks and bring water shoes, and hiking shoes if you want to go on top of the falls, on the right side is the way to the too but you have to go down and then up to get to the very top. Bring towel, change of clothes, bug spray and be ready to take a lot of pictures or videos; if you are like me you will do both!!. The water is COLD 🥶 but once you get inside the water your body may adapt to it or you may shiver. Keep your dog on a leash and pick up after your pet. Don't litter. No alcoholic beverages allowed. The place is beautiful beyond words with a flair of mysticism and the air is so clean and pure to breathe. There's a statue of a Greek woman but no description of what it means. And there's an area that looks like antique ruins from hundreds of years ago. As if there was subterranean living quarters. I will go back and find out more information about this intriguing place. By the way, Don't step on the grass. Just walk on the path. And don't lean, jump or seat on the fences. Let me know if you have questions. If this review was helpful to you. Please like it and...
Read moreIt is hard to believe such a beautiful water fall is right near the city, but it is. Please be respectful and keep this area clean. Rutledge Falls is on private property but open to the public. When you enter in the gate walk straight and to the left following the path until you get to the top of the falls. There is a nice well walked path on the left you can take to the bottom, and is fit for most ages. If you are adventurous, you can take the path on the right and follow it down and then up to the top of the falls. Both are worth the hike. When you get to the bottom you can go right and walk over to the main falls and swim or scout around. The water by the falls is extremely cold all year round. If you are up for a long quiet walk, follow the river to the left along the bank for some spectacular rock formations, native plants, trickling waterfalls and more. Bring water shoes, a lunch and enjoy...
Read moreI really enjoyed the place with my family, but had a couple of issues that I wish could be Taken care of: 1- The place was hidden behind the trees , I used GPS and I missed it two times until I saw people coming out and I asked them , the location is exactly across the street from the church. 2- It’s too steep and little unsafe when go down to the falls and same when leave back up to the street, there is no stairs or a walking path, you have to climb up/ down your way , that was my biggest concern as I have my father in law with me and I had to grab him and support him in the way up/ down, same thing for my wife and three kids, the way was rocky and slippery. I still give 5 stars to this...
