Description: Starting from the sand parking area near the boat house, turn right and follow the Hiking Trail along the shoreline of the lake. Just before you get to the bridge turn right, go downhill, and you will see the waterfall on your left. A sign marks the trailhead and tree limbs line the trail to guide you through a lowland area and onto a wooded hillside. When you reach the bridge above the waterfall, you can cross and return the way you came, or turn right and follow the Hiking Trail back to the parking area (approximately 1.5 miles).

Be aware that in the lower section there may be water. Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.

Length: 0.5 mile plus 0.3 each way on the Hiking Trail.

Directions: From downtown Columbia, drive northwest on I-126 to the junction of I-20. Drive east on I-20 and turn off at Exit 74 (Two Notch Road), then turn left at the light onto Two Notch Rd (US 1). Drive approximately 3 miles and you will see a sign on the right for the park. Enter the park and drive to the bottom of the hill (approximately 1.0 mile) and turn left and park in the Retreat Center parking area.
