A lovely hike through the forest and along a creek (or two); we’ve only done this hike once and it was late in the day. We only had time to see the Limekilns before we had to turn around, but that alone was a great stop. There’s also a waterfall on a different branch of the trail which is apparently well worth seeing – I’ll update this post when we get back to the area since this is definitely on our list of things to do. Worth a stop, with or without the waterfall though!
