Photo Suggestions

Pearson Falls is a gorgeous 90-ft waterfall that cascades down a 30 - 40 wide staircase of rock.
 
As you walk to the falls (1/4 mile easy walk), you can photograph the creek (Colt Creek) along the ways.  When you get to an area called Mini-Falls, (also known as Lightener's Ledge) you can photo it with Pearson Falls in the background.
 
The path will provide many opportunities to photograph rare wildflowers to mosses, ferns, lichens, shrubs and trees,  Most of the wild flowers start to bloom in mid-March to early May. 


Driving Tips and Other Information

Use GPS or a mapping program to get to the Falls
 
The trail to the falls is about 1/4 mile or 20 minutes.  Not a hard hike in.
 
The trail is developed, with steps and fences, as it leads up the creek to the base of the falls. Large trees grace the slopes along the stream in this lush, mixed hardwood forest. Many species of ferns and wildflowers grow beside the trail. There is a gentle climb along the trail's whole length, though it is never steep. Watch for occasional loose rocks, roots, and wet areas.
 
Need to check their website for times, since they change by season.
 
There is an admission fee (as of this writing it is $5.00).
 
Bathroom facilities are available next to the parking lot.
 
Cell phone service is limited.
