GENERAL INFO
Since there are so many options for activities to do at the park, plan ahead. Check the website for possible trials you may want to hike or for where the waterfalls are or where the campgrounds and comfort areas are. There are bathroom facilities located in the park, so you don't have to worry about roughing it too much. One of the trails I hiked on was the Lewis Falls trail. It is a section of the Appalachian Trail and you get to go by a beautiful waterfall. Bring a backpack with water, snacks, and a sweatshirt if you plan on spending a full day there.
