Brink of the Lower Falls Trail

Depending on the time of year, anywhere between 5,000 -60,000 gallons per second (18,927-22,7125 l/s) of water plunges 308 feet (93 m) over Lower Falls. You can catch a distant view of this power from some overlooks adjacent to the parking lot. Or you can descend to the brink on this steep trail that drops 600 feet (180 m) over 0.4-mile. View Upper Falls from a short spur at the trail’s beginning. This trail is closed in winter. Safety notes: not recommended for visitors with heart, lung, or other health conditions.
