Forest Glen Falls used to be one of the
prettiest little waterfalls anywhere. Unfortunately, a recent storm
blew several ugly trees across the front of the falls. It will take
years for nature to clean up this mess. Luckily, the stream has a
bigger waterfall just downstream from the road that managed to remain
unscathed by the storm. Lower Forest Glen Falls spreads out around a
curved cliff face and plunges in a 76' tall curtain of water, surrounded by
green moss. On the right side of the falls is a massive, craggy rock
that looks like it could fall over at any moment. Getting to the falls
involves a short, but pretty steep scramble down the hillside next to the
creek. The trip is worth it to get a view of the lovely waterfall
though.
