Beautiful views! Wear comfy shoes and bring plenty of water and snacks, its a good 30-45 min hike to the first waterfall. Be prepared to walk up and down steep staircases and in some cases slide down rocks.Dog-friendliness: Dogs are allowed! Keep them leashed and bring poop bags!

Only an hour out from Baton Rouge, and 30 minutes from St. Francisville. It's a pretty small entrance with some space for parking, and it costs $2 per person, in which you need to pay via envelope and then put a paper tag in your car.Pretty good place for a hike, just make sure you have some shoes or boots with good grip. There's plenty of uphill-downhill walking with some loose gravel and gumballs, but the plants were pretty and the waterfalls fun to get to!There were rest stops along the way, as well as maps and signs, but not as many markers as I'd've liked. Got turned around a tad.Mosquitoes're definitely a-swarmin', so wear repellent!

It's very challenging but beautiful site and an amazing experience 20/10 definitely recommend. There are adequate maps and signage so you won't get lost. Definitely not for new hikersDog-friendliness: The trail is friendly.

Beautiful falls. Wish I could have seen all of them. I'll be returning to do so as soon as I can.

Cool place for hiking it what seems to be the middle of nowhere, but Google faithfully took us to where we needed to be. Spent a couple of hours here, saw a couple of (very small) waterfalls and some nice, manicured trails. We did get lost a couple of times, and as a couple who hikes a fair bit this was a little interesting - will leave that with you to make a decision on :)

It is a nice place. Very busy. Nice. A lot of people walk with their pets. Expect to walk up some good hills. Good cardio

A great nature hike with helpful signage. Plan for a 2 hour round trip up and over hilly terrain for the first 3 falls, double that if you want to see falls 4 and 5, but the waterfalls are worth the hike. Will be back again in the fall for sure.

a hell of a hike. im not a hiker. i didnt get past the first “waterfall” theres a lot of steep points. i think its awesome if youre active and sporty etc etc etc. i am NOT. and wouldnt consider the “waterfall” i saw to be worth it.

This place is absolutely beautiful. 4 waterfalls, a cool cave you can climb in, and nice swimming area fed by one of the waterfalls. If you live in a three-hour radius, I highly suggest you check this place out. Maps doesn't know that there's a bridge out, so if you do go and you're coming from Lafayette make sure to take baton rouge to 110 to 61N and right before Woodville take the left, or you'll have to turn around.Playground: The whole thing is a play ground

One of the best hidden gems in the state. It is a stretch to get here but it is magical.

The primitive trails are very poorly marked, having to backtrack several times and giving up in some areas and turning back. Not to mention we stumbled apon a whole family of wild boar on the primitive trail near the scenic overlook and luckly we had actually seen the piglets on the trail before we got too close (about 200ft away). They where quite aggressively snorting at us after we made lots of noise from surprize and we quickly turned back. Fortunately they did not follow us and left us alone after we left the area backtracking up the trail, they are obviously used to people. This was about 12:30 pm on a friday for reference. ABSOLUTELY NOT something someone with kids would want to come across for sure as we got way to close for comfort. Obviously this is the open wilderness here and seeing wildlife isnt unheard of but still not something you want to encounter armed with only a bush knife. Possible boar incounters would change a lot of peoples minds about hiking here. This along with having to turn back just from poorly marked paths, I would say that the primitive trails are not at all recommended in fact advised against for your own safety, both from wildlife and getting lost. But the waterfalls accessable right off the main trails are really great.Waterfalls and main trails are great and worth the elevation changes but some may find it difficult to hike. Most of the trails are nicely graveled and not too rutted, but going down to the riverbeds and bases of waterfalls is much more challenging particularly waterfall number 2. The decent condition restrooms with water fountain at the trailhead is a huge plus, and most of the trails and paths to the base of waterfalls is accessable even by active kids. Why they dont have a water spigot to wash off boots i am not sure, because they know people will definitely use the sink for that (such as me, but fortunately I cleaned up after myself). They do not stock paper towels in the restrooms. Honor system of $2 per person at the moment, giving a tag to put in your car from the envelope to drop in the drop box with your payment. Keep in mind this more or less directly goes to keeping the trail and bathrooms upkept and clean, and they threatened a fine if caught without paying. Its worth it for sure. Dogs are allowed on leash, and the water is clear and astonishingly clean, more than enough for kids to play in. Avoid the primitive trails and you will have a great experience here, I still will be returning for certain simply due to the natural beauty here, but you can guess where I am not going.
