Description
This family friendly hike is definitely for all ages and skill levels. It is only about 0.3 miles to the grotto waterfall and there are plenty of wood and log bridges for your kids to enjoy as you cross over the shallow Peteetneet creek multiple times. The trail begins at a sharp bend in the road where there is plenty of parking. You will see a sign that says "Grotto Trail" and this is where you will begin. The trail follows Peteetneet creek for the entire 0.3 miles to the waterfall. The waterfall is probably less than 15 feet tall but it was really peaceful to be surrounded by this rock grotto and hearing the water splash down. You can also take a short trail just before the grotto that will give you a view above the falls. There is loose footing so be careful.
