Helen Hunt Falls is a nice place to simply relax and enjoy a picnic, or take a short hike.
The falls was named after a famous American writer Helen Hunt Jackson.
There is a bridge that crosses the falls and a trail to another falls nearby.
This day trip is more of a short excursion. This seems like a nice place to come for an hour or so to just get some fresh air. There are several trails in the area but the main waterfall area is just off the parking lot so its not much of a hike. You can walk up the stairs to the top of the waterfall and continue going past the falls onto a trail. The main area is more suited for a photo-op and a picnic. There is a shaded stream to walk along with several boulders nearby that make for excellent sitting and thinking spots.
