  Located within the Galena Territories is this very peaceful area. Just enjoy the water cascading over the falls and running along the creek below. Have a seat, relax and enjoy.

  It's a beautiful and serene location just outside Galena. Perfect to spend an hour or two with your loved ones. There is a small parking spot just off the road and then a few steps to the falls. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the vicinity and appreciate these small but beautiful gems of nature.
