During Covid-19 we are trying to do anything that involves outdoors! When we arrived the GPS sent us right to the entrance of the falls where it's private property and you can NOT park, but there is instructions right there saying to go down the street and park at the YMCA. From the parking lot there is signs to follow through a cute neighborhood that is a quick .3 mile walk that goes right to the entrance of the trail. I have done many hiking trails with my family and by FAR this is the EASIEST!!! It was well manicured and maintained 2 little bridges to pass over, beautiful sounds and sights to see going up the .7 mile trail to the enormous falls. It was not busy at all and people were for the most part polite and moved over as new groups came through. Definitely will go again and take nature in!

The climb up to this trail may be the most challenging part - once you're up, you gently climb and descend. Take the trail all the way to Spruce Hill for great views to the west. It;s a little confusing when you get there - sheer rock on your gith, but keep folowing the trail up and you'll come to the USGS medallion in the rock on the top of Spruce Hill. We hiked it on a Sunday and passed very few people. The distances posted seemed to underestimate the true distances, but it took us about 3.5 hours from Route 2 to Spruce Hill and back, including a 15 minute break at the top.

I visited Windsor Lake with my friends from Brooklyn Street last summer. We saw a Celtic music group called JP Murphy playing, and they played some of our favorite songs. An added plus was that when a rainstorm came, they moved the audience into the pavilion. It was overall a great experience.
