Best Time to Visit

Spring (snowmelt) and after rainstorms produce the most dramatic flow. Fall foliage season is extremely popular.

Park Rules

• No swimming or wading in the falls
• No alcohol on park grounds
• No drones
• Pets welcome on leash

⚠️ Parking fills fast on weekends. The park closes when full and reopens only when 10 spaces clear.
