This is a must see. The hike is moderate in difficulty but when you get in to the falls it will take your breath away. It is well worth it. It is right around a mile hike in.

If you want amazing views while you fish in a quiet setting Terryall is your spot. You just need to have a fishing license but there is no cost to use the lake to fish. There is camping as well but that will take some advanced planning to get a spot.
