This place was a cool little gem. The best Balancing Rock we have seen to date is located here. There are remains of an old homestead, plus a few places for views. To be fair the views are not that good this time of year. Probably better in the Fall with no leaves. We found a total of 4 cemeteries, 3 were old colonial ones. The namesake of the area, Orris Falls were just a trickle right now due to lack of rain, but still cool to see. We were able to get 8 of the 9 geocaches here also. Definitely a place to get some exercise in without a lot of people there, at least when we were there. We did post our usual video on our YouTube channel for anyone interested in seeing what the place and the hike looks like. Just click the link... |
