We arrived at the parking spot that can hold 4-5 cars. There is a cable acting like a gate blocking off the class 6 road that leads to the falls. One thing I noticed when we were getting ready to hike was that the tree was starting to grow around the cable. And when I took a closer look, it seemed the tree had already eaten a chain that was just barely visible.
We started down the road which was pretty level and easy walking. Soon we came upon a small pond by the stream with a dam at the end of it. The water was flowing over the dam and made a nice waterfall. But this was not the falls we came to see. Garwin Falls is just below the dam.
As we climbed down there are several off shoots where you can see the cascading water flow over the rocks. Lots of photo opportunities everywhere. These falls are very large and the water was gushing. This was by far the best water fall we saw today. On the way back we noticed a cellar hole. Maybe an old barn or shed of some sort?
