One of our favorite trails. This is about an hour away, but worth it. This is an easy to moderate trail (some tricky steps and obstacles to climb over). Recommended for 4 and up. Bring water shoes! Take the upper trail for an easier time. Cross the stream to continue on to Little Bradley Falls (the upper trail otherwise dead-ends). Swim in the natural pool or enjoy a picnic!
