Parks & Nature
This is a beautiful walk! If you don't feel like a big walk you can just go for 5-10 minutes and you will come to the first bridge which is a beautiful spot for some photos.
There is a look-out half way up where you can see the waterfall. It says that it takes 45 minutes but it is more like 30 minutes.
If you are game you can continue right to the top, another 30-45 minutes. It is quite steep but well worth it.
