The park's recreational opportunities include scenic viewing, hiking, and fishing. To ensure public safety entering the water, swimming and rock climbing are prohibited. Leashed dogs are allowed on the trail and at the falls. The falls can be reached via a moderately strenuous, half-mile, downhill trail.[5] In all, there are three parking areas with trails of different lengths that provide access to the falls.[6] The park is open from dawn to dusk.[4]
