Really pretty, short and easy hike. The falls are a fun treat, and walking along the path of the river is nice. Lots of trillium blooming - as tall as my knees! When you park at the gate to the closed campground, go to the left and follow the road through the old campground loop road. It's a loop so it will end up at the trailhead regardless of how you travel it. Just don't turn right after you enter past the gate, as that is the opposite direction of the trailhead.

Trail is clear all the way around. Quick, easy, kid friendly hike.
Decided to do this as a cool down after doing Mount Walker which is near by. My stats said I did 2 miles and 440 feet of elevation when I did both the canyon loop and the falls view loop. They are both well marked. I decided to go clockwise around the canyon loop to do the extra elevation first. Made the stroll back easier.
Note: lots of steps into the canyon that may make it difficult for some to get back out, but definitely doable by most.

Nice trail, campground definitely closed and clearly has been for a long time. Just park by the gate and walk in, head left and you’ll see the trailhead along the campground road. Trail really well kept given the campground isn’t used anymore.
Nice views from the overlook trail but I wouldn’t let little ones go off on their own up there. The fence is not sturdy at all. The hike down into the canyon and to the river is steep but totally doable both ways.
Nice time!
