Brodhead Watershed Association will hos t a guided hike to the falls to show participants how the journey is worth the effort.\nA hiking pole helps participants slide down to the first lan ding place. From there\, narrow switchbacks make the descent a little easi er. Two ropes are anchored to the rock walls\, dripping with water and thi ckly carpeted in moss.\nAt last\, hikers reach the flat rocks at the foot of the falls. Here\, the air is cool and misty\, full of the sound of rush ing water cascading down rock steps to a wide pool.\nPure and clean\, from here the water curves away downhill. The open forest closes in around the creek\, and it flows onward beneath dense arching stands of rhododendron and mountain laurel.\nBeautiful.\n\nIF YOU GO\nThe hike is free\, but regi stration is required for directions\n\nINFORMATION: Call 570-839-1120 or 5 70-629-2727\; email info@brodheadwatershed.org.
