The Wahconah Falls flows through smaller falls then cascades 40 feet into a deep pool. The Wahconah Falls State Park is home to a hardwood-conifer forest that is perfect for hiking, relaxing, picnicking or even fishing in the river.
A specific hike is a 0.5 mile loop trail of moderate difficulty through upper portions of the falls.
