Nice for a quick trip into nature. The waterfalls were nice, the fall foliage was beautiful, and we only saw 2-3 other couples while we were there. The water sound is beautiful and quickly over took the city sounds (even with a boring crew working right across the street). There is a sign for the park that if you blink you might miss and go too far past the park. There is some parking, but I could see it easily filling up. There are some steps down (another review said 48) but they’re spaced well with a handrail. We spent about 45 minutes here because I wanted lots of pics. You could spend as little as 5-10 mins and see everything, or take your time and enjoy this little slice of nature.

A very quick stop on the way into Dublin. It is right in the heart of the city. The parking area is very small. The walk to the falls is super easy and takes maybe 1-2 minutes for a quick pic. They do not allow dogs on the boardwalk from what I saw on the signs.

I go here once a week in the summer time, but it can get a bit crowded. The water is amazing and peaceful. Parking is tight and the decline of the stairs is steep. Not a hike at all, but gets you into nature. Only a 4 star because of parking.

This park has a very limited parking area. It is located on the side of the road and has maybe eight parking spots. Then you climb four steps, cross a small platform area and next it is 48 stairs straight down. The walk from there is a nice boardwalk to a relativity small waterfall.

It was definitely worth the short ride and stop. Its a 20-30 minute free site with very easy access. I bet that it looks cool with the snow.
