Great park, some great hiking paths. One of the best views on the shore(shovel point). It a reasonable hike a little bit over a mile there and back. But to be warned there a great number of stairs. Only complaint is the big beautiful relative new visitor center need to be open.

Very nice park with the High Falls being the highlight. They have a very nice visitor center although at the peak, it can be hard to find a parking spot there. You have the choice of going to the shore for some great views, or hiking to High Falls. Both beautiful.
