Description:

The photographer posted this photo on June 1, 2020.

Park in the lot off Fairview Avenue on the east side of the trail, then cross to the west side of Fairview and find the trailhead where you sill see some signage marked “Patriot’s Path.” Begin here.

Many people say that it’s easiest taking the trail clockwise. Follow the blue trail clockwise for about .4 miles until you see it split off to the right. Take the right fork and follow the blue trail about another .1 mile. Break off to the black trail a this point until you reach the Electric Brook in .3 or so miles. We believe the falls will be located around this point.

Note that the path is rocky, slippery, and requires some scrambling around obstacles.
