J	Jenny C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went to the falls this past summer with my two kids (aged one and three) and we had a lot of fun looking at and getting to the falls. I love that this little hiking spot is accessible by bus and while some parts are a little steep (like getting down to the actual base of the falls) it was overall a wonderful experience that my oldest still talks about. Do NOT bring a stroller if you’re planning to hike this and have a baby - using a baby carrier would be your best bet.
C	Cassie Braithwaite on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great spot!!! Its a bit steep of a walk, so don't bring a stroller for your kids (Too steep for a bob as well). You'd have to bring a backpack carrier. Nice wide trails, lovely fencing. Bit of a drop on the trail to get close to the falls- there were some elderly people that had to stop further away because the trail got a bit steep for them. The waterfall is beautiful though!
C	Chris Tom on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So... its okay, a little overated and oversaturated as a hiking trail. I would say its more of a photo opportunity and a light hike. It is a very dangerous hiking trail when wet, I highly recommend bringing a hiking pole if it has rained.
J	James Ferris on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great location once you can find a way in to view it. Some of the paths are a bit challenging depending on footwear, and there is no signage directing you to the best viewing at the base of the falls. Still, once you get there, especially early in the morning without others around, it is a quiet, beautiful place to unwind within the city. The way some of the cedar trees hang on to the rock face is truly impressive. Final note: if you're going to bring food or beverage with you, at least take your garbage home. It makes it a nicer experience for everyone else.
M	Miranda Dunn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We took this trail for our Beaver hike to clean up garbage! (We filled half a garbage bag.. there are no cans anywhere) Parking isn't readily available and most of the better entrancesfor trails are in the residential area right behind the falls. The hike is not very "kid friendly" and dangerous when wet. Not much for wind breaking resistance either. Recommended hiking gear/boots to climb the slopes. Although these things are noted, the falls were very beautiful and we did enjoy our time there! I'd have more pictures but they mostly feature my children. It's a nice hike for a nice day.
J	John Coelho on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The falls itself was spectacular. Although we were new to the area and parking was an issue. My wife and I do not smoke so because of the heavy smoking at the base of the falls, we will try a longer stay and more hiking on another visit.
A	Angelo Garcia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One will easily miss this falls from the road... There isn't available parking, no bathroom nor garbage can, the terrain is slippery and certainly not recommended for bathing or drinking water here, be prepared to park up the road and walk, wear good hiking shoes, enjoy the views of the Falls and don't litter please!
F	Farhat Jahan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The fall was okay, not so big, but it will be amazing when it will start raining. It's very close to bus stop but we thought of hiking till the waterfall from the highlands. And it was great to walk through the greenaries. A quick getaway for the weekend.
