Outdoor attractions
This is our favorite close-by hike, with 3 increasingly nice waterfalls in a beautiful woodland setting. Easy walking path - just walk across the bridge, go toward the parking spots/cars on the left. Beyond that is a stream you'll see feeding into the larger creek that the bridge goes over. Basically you just follow this smaller stream up along the path, and you will reach all 3 waterfalls.
