Enjoy An Autumn Hike to the Falls
The hike to the falls is a fairly easy 3 mile round trip from the trailhead at Holland Lake Lodge parking lot. The views of the lake from the falls (see main photo) are breathtaking! Autumn colors will begin their annual show as our nightime temperatures fall into the 40's and daytime temperatures top out in the 80's. Great hiking weather! Earlier in the spring there were several reports of seeing a cinnamon black bear within view of the trail but far enough away not to be a bother. In fact, even in the campground there have been more visits than usual this summer from bears and bear cubs. Once a bear trap was put up for a few days; however, the smart bear decided to make less frequent visits! This is truly "primitive camping" and campers should remember at all times that we are uninvited guests in the wildlife's domain! Strict enforcement of storage of food and beverages and diligent garbage monitoring on a daily basis are for the public's safety as well as the bear!
