A small but very picturesque conservation area. The trail is only about a 1km loop, with a small side section that goes along the river. When the gate house is closed the stairs down to the base of the waterfall are closed, but the viewing platform remains open. This platform is mid-sized, and can get busy quite easily. It is a nice waterfall and there are some good areas if you get right down to the waterfall. Definitely a good small loop with the stairs and a nice place to visit with family with all of the picnic tables and the playground.

We went to Rock Glenn to do some Fall hiking as it is always nice there this time of year. It was a little crowded around the falls but we managed to get some photos without people in them!! A beautiful spot for a fall hike but there is a lot of climbing up and down stairs so be warned!! But it is definitely worth the trip!!

Also, there is a cost of $4.25 a person to get in, so be aware of that as well!!

We didn't picnic this time but we have in the past and if you plan to, there are lots of picnic tables to sit at. There is also a small museum and washrooms at the top of the hill!!

A spot well worth checking out!!

Plenty of room to park. Lots of shady picnic areas. The museum is interesting. The trails are well maintained and easy to walk. Pretty creeks and fossils to explore. Beautiful waterfalls!!
Our visit to the falls themselves was pretty short because it was too overcrowded for us.

We visited several days in late fall, a Saturday and a Monday. Saturday was a little busy, Monday was empty but also a holiday. There were a lot of stairs up and down into the gorge but the walk wasn't very long.

Great family hiking experience. Definitely a great afternoon out with the family. Take the hike around the falls walking through the creek that is created from the waterfall offshed. Spend time swimming in the shallow pool, at the basin of the waterfall. Have a picnic under the shade trees on the picnic tables provided. Make the hike up the hill to the museum and explore what that land used to look like. Children love exploring and looking for fossils among the rocks. My family found a bunch. Definitely one of nature's precious gifts.

It was ok. Falls were a bit underwhelming tbf. The lookout points are so overgrown you can't see much of anything. The museum was pretty cool. The fellow who greeted us was very nice and enthusiastic.
