Lower Falls offers a picnic area with a few outside grills and picnic tables. Bathrooms are located near the parking area.
Lower Falls recreation area was recently updated and provides better access for everyone, especially those with disabilities.
Caution: If the water is high and/or rushing through this area, please do not swim at Lower Falls as it can be extremely dangerous.
