Hike the Dam Drop Loop

Starting at the parking lot at the top of the hill there are great views of the lake. As you descend on the criss-crossing trails, be careful of crumbling rocks. At the bottom of the park which borders the river just below the dam, you will find waterfalls and a pool.Trails are not well marked, so it is easy to get lost.

You'll come to a river crossing and get to cool off (possibly holding your bag above your head). The trail continues on the other side of the riv...
