Traveler advice
What to pack
Bring Hiking shoes or Teva style sandals that can get wet.
With water friendly shoes you will have so much fun in the rocky creek, hiking in and around the water.
Don't miss
Hike or walk to see Big Falls Waterfall
This beautiful water fall is just a little walk up the mountain, either in the creek thru the rocks for avid hikers, or on the dirt road. Head directly up the mountain and look to the top of the mountain on your left. You will see the falls!
Customs and culture
Respect the neighbors properties.
Please stay on the roads, and keep to the side of the road if a car needs to pass. Please do not go in the properties or yards of the surrounding homes and neighbors. As we do not have many fences here it seems all the properties are public, but actually these large areas are neighbors yards. Please keep on the roads.
