  I have been hiking the trails of Gooseberry falls for decades and in all seasons. I love to come here. Of course the falls are a big attraction. There are a few trails worth checking out also. The picnic grounds in the winter is a fun place to photograph ice and waves. Don't forget to bring a tent and camp for a few days. This place is very popular so make reservations ahead of time if you intend to camp.

  Always nice to visit. One of the more popular tourist spots up the shore, so it's always nice to catch a time when there's not a lot of people around. Waterfalls are beautiful, but so are the surrounding areas above and below the falls. Never disappointed when I visit. No matter where you are along the river, the waterfall's constant roar is ever present.
