Trail Description:

The Cascades Trail begins as a very easy stroll passing through a hardwood forest. The trail stays mostly flat and level and passes over the creek a couple times. The trail has numerous descriptions of trees such as yellow poplar, hickory trees, white oaks, and more. The waterfall is at the end of the trail, and was quite the pleasant suprise! I wasn't expecting anything this cool! There are also numerous views along the way, be sure not to miss!
