The trail from here is well trodden and marked and will descend you slowly to an amazing overlook of the falls. Be very careful here, there are sheer ledges and it can be quite slippery. Below the falls is a popular swim hole and a herd path access it, but again this can be very dangerous and slippery tread with caution. The marked trail ends at an old fireplace 0.4 miles from the trailhead.

The trail continues along the river and eventually becomes unmarked by DEC trail disks. However, it is well used and not hard to follow. It is very obvious and follows closely along the scenic river upstream. Eventually the trail breaks free from the shore and access the other side of the gravel road which you will follow left to get back to your car.
