The most-frequented outdoorsy location in the area. Featured in National Geographic decades ago. Caves, waterfalls and exploring. Family-friendly for the majority of the 3-mile round-trip hike - not strenuous except for the bonus area at the end, a steep climb up to a cave that you can crawl through if you're willing to get muddy.
Free.
Not sure why the address on here says Kingston - it's just past Ponca on Highway 43.
