💡 The wooden ceiling inside (made from local spruce) is the highlight. Visit during weekday mornings when it's quietest. Photographs allowed without flash.
💡 The falls are partly diverted for hydro, but the rapids downstream are still impressive. Best after spring melt (May–June). Wear sturdy shoes—sections can be muddy.
💡 Call ahead to confirm it's open—hours can be erratic. The trail itself is always accessible and worth a quick 20-minute walk.
