Description

Added by Jess Fischer

Blackwater Falls is known for its sheer power and beauty year round but when the waterfall is rushing under sheets of ice it becomes eerily beautiful. 

Make sure to go in January of February a week or two after it has snowed and there have been low temperatures in the teens. Because of the speed at which the water flows over the falls it's crucial that the temperatures are low enough to freeze the surrounding water. After exploring Blackwater Falls you can continue exploring the park by snow shoeing, hiking, or camping!
