Ball's Falls Conservation Area

Pretty scenery. Nice, easy walk. If you're walking at a leisurely pace then the timings are about right (1.5 hours for both falls). The Upper Falls is more scenic whereas the Lower Falls is larger and near the little village. If you're looking for a bit of a challenge, try the Twenty Valley trail. Half the fun is trying to figure out where the trail goes after the winter has cleared up!

Historic conservation area. Smaller barn with some historic farm machinery and lots of rodent feces on the floor. Popular for country / nature weddings with reception/ dinner in the big barn. Large parking area. Bathrooms are far away and out dated. Would be challenging for a person with disabilities to get there in a timely, efficient and easy manner. Big barn is wheel chair accessible as is the parking lot. Beautiful natural preserve.

Nice place for a scenic, albeit brief, hike to a couple nice waterfalls. Little village there. Not too much to do in winter, but good place for an easy hike. Can do both waterfalls and be back in car in 40 minutes walking. Could spend longer there hiking down the gorge or exploring the village (if it is open).

Great place to take the family. Explore nature walking around the park. See the river as you walk around. Great place for groups wanting to have a place to gathering s. Highly recommended it.

Great hike! Never went into the building, but it looked well kept. The hike was beautiful, though the water was quite murky. I assume it's the time of year though. Careful with young kids near the water in the winter, as with any hike it is very icey. But over all a great experience! They are also kind enough to place benches at the top of the stairs for athletic folks like myself that need a rest after all that climbing! :)
