"Enfield Glen and Creek are very typical of the area – a mix of seemingly never-ending limestone and shale layers. The dammed Lower Falls area at the lower end of the park is much like nearby Buttermilk Falls State Park in that you can swim in the large pool directly at its base. The rounded shape of this roaring 70 ft cascade is as visually pleasing as swimming up to its powerful current is refreshing. The swimming here is easily the most popular attraction, especially on summer weekends. Hundreds of families, complete with screaming and laughing children, will pack the swimming area and detract from the beautiful surroundings."
