Sightseeing
A local Gem. "Yosemite of the East". My personal favorite hike is to School house Falls to take a refreshing swim and then hike on up to Little Green Mountain Overlook.
(Be sure to download a trail map, trails are not marked the best and easy to get turned around)

What to pack
Rain Jacket
We are considered a moderate rainforest. We get a lot of rain at times, but it keeps everything beautiful and green.
Don't miss
The Waterfalls and overlooks are a must see buuuttt
PLEASE use caution at all times, the waterfalls and rock ledges are very slick and severe injury or death are often a result. They are beautiful but don't let the curiosity bring you closer to the edge then is safe. Also, be careful as water currents can be strong after a rain.
