The trail passes this small waterfall and the shelter. Unfortunately, there was trash at the shelter and at this beautiful spot. It's a shame, but that doesn't have to happen! Take your trash with you!

A great refreshment in summer! A lovely resting place for the whole family. It is a good idea for children to bring a change of clothes/swimwear.
