As easy as a walk around the corner, this short, wheelchair-accessible trail leads to the falls. The open field nearby is the site of the late 19th century Sweet family homestead, and is now used in summer for the park's horses and mules to pasture. The mules help keep backcountry trails in shape by helping to carry supplies for the trail crew into the wilderness, where motorized vehicles are not permitted. As cute as they are, please do not feed or touch the animals.
