    Daily adventure

    Siggy and I visited the Lower Falls almost daily while staying in Paradise. they have done an amazing job building and maintaining the boardwalk, bridge and path around the falls and island. all the of employees are super friendly and love giving Siggy attention! Siggy and I enjoy walking and running the path daily.

    Almost perfect for the doggos!

    We only had time for the Upper Falls, once you get to the stairs, unless you have a large dog with big paws, you’ll want to carry your furry friend up/down the stairs as they’re made of metal grates. Also, bring your bug spray!

    A great day had by all!

    We took our two pups (our golden, Murphy, & our corgi, Mack) to the falls & they had a great time. Lower falls was definitely more fun for them, but they did well at the upper falls too despite all of the stairs. Great dog friendly adventure!

    Great Hiking to the Waterfall and views

    In August 2020 we had a great hike to the Waterfalls with the pup! Both hiking and views were awesome!

    Rufus Loves It!

    Great hiking! Beautiful park! Went in mid September, park not busy. Plenty of camping sites available. We actually were able to pick out our own. Stayed 2 nights. Electric only. Trails from camp site to Lower Falls were moderate in difficulty. The trails on main path to falls were easy and paved. Dogs loved it. We only encountered other dogs in main area for those that have fur babies not liking others too much. Which one of ours do not. Had no problems. Dogs were able to do lower falls just fine. Upper Fall area there are 94 stairs to bluff that are medal grates. You will have to carry them, so if you have a large dog, doubt you would be able to go thus far. Great day!!!
