This was our first time going there from Chattanooga. It was about 45 minutes away. We got there and easily found parking. There were bathrooms at the top and then a beautiful path to the over look. Then it continued down to a swinging bridge and to the water. The water was cool and a bit murky. I snorkeled around the base of the waterfall but the water was too dark to see much past 2 feet deep. I think it is a good place to go and visit in the summertime.
