    I was pleasantly surprised when i pulled up to this facility. It is located in a state park so the…read moreentrance fee was $10 but it was well worth it. The parking lot was huge and it was a short walk to the entrance of the facility. I noticed there was a cafe called " Acorns" which had food and snacks and then saw bathroom facilities and showers ! It was just what i was looking for to post up and hang for a while. I will say, the showers are not the best kept, so have low expectations but there was hot water so it was exactly what i was looking for. There was a beautiful tree covered walkway down to the beach, which made it feel magical and it opened up to the lake. It wasn't the largest beach but it was perfect. The beach was really clean and lifeguards on duty. I' m so happy this place was recommended to me by a local Park Ranger when i asked for places to swim in the area. I was visiting Cold Spring for the day.

    Clean, beach like, lake!…read more Just $8 for entrance fee (per car) and you have access to clean bathrooms, sandy "beach", bbq area, picnic tables and a fishing dock. Only down side is no floating devices allowed. Social distancing ENFORCED and while at the sandy side you must be 10 feet apart. If you go use the restrooms you must wear your mask. No dogs allowed in the sand area. Overall nice lake to spend your summer in, they do have a strict limit of how many people/cars are allowed. When it gets over crowded in the weekend they will close admission for the day. Definitely best to go during the week to be safe. Otherwise, make sure to get there nice and early to guarantee admission. Open from 9-6

    The falls are truly incredible…read more The trail down to the bottom of the falls, is a bit tricky. But so incredibly worth it. I would suggest not to believe the sign saying 189 steps.... it is definitely more! Take drinking water because you'll need that for sure. We went back in August and the heat was definitely there. The parking lot was pretty packed but throughout the trails people were pretty evenly spaced out. Not so much at the base of the falls themselves but there was still plenty of room to move around freely.

    A very mild and easy hike with a beautiful payoff! Definitely bring your bathing suits because you…read morecan take a dip in the water--it's cool, refreshing, and perfect for cooling off after the walk. The waterfall and surrounding scenery are absolutely beautiful, and you can easily spend some time relaxing on the rocks and taking in the view. You don't have to get in the water if that's not your thing; there are plenty of rocks around the area where you can sit and enjoy the scenery. There are both upper and lower sections of the waterfall, so depending on how much walking you want to do, you can choose which area to explore. We walked to the lookout point first, which gives you a view of the waterfall from above. From up there, everyone below looks like little ants! Before reaching the bridge, there are stairs that lead down to the actual waterfall, which I definitely recommend checking out. Overall, it's a beautiful spot, and the hike is very manageable!
