Description

The centerpiece of this county park is its sole falls. Although it resides in a deep narrow gorge covered in trees, it is seen perfectly framed by foliage from the provided lookout area half-way down. A small dam provides a small fishing pond near the parking area, but also keeps Pratt’s Falls flowing, even in mid-summer. An excellent case of a “buttermilk” falls, the waters bounce continuously from one jagged limestone edge to the next, frothing and generating rainbow-producing mist along the way. The gorge walls feed a slight echo to the 137 feet high cascade, spreading the tranquil sound of the tumbling water to the adjacent areas of the park. The sheer size of the falls, combined with its many ledges and narrow gorge, make this one of the most pleasing hikes for the senses. It’s a beautiful falls and a convenient hike.
