 | Comments: |
This hike was 6 miles round trip hike. Bringing you to 3 awesome waterfalls, plus a Devil’s Bean Pot and lots of artifacts from an old sawmill. The hike has lots of roots and rocks so watching your footing is necessary. The walk along Purgatory Brook is beautiful this time of year, there is plenty of water to enjoy. Lower falls are the easiest to get to, and the prettiest but parking is tight there. There are a total of 4 parking areas including one at the upper falls if to want to spot a car or just do the top.
