Description

Added by Outbound

Pratt's Falls is a hidden gem. There is very rarely anybody at this park, and it is a great waterfall for photography. At only about 9m shorter than Niagara Falls, Pratt's Falls is much bigger than it looks.

The falls are accessed from a short trail (only about 0.9 miles) that leads down to the bottom of the falls. This waterfall is perfect for getting longer exposures because of the lower volume of water coming over the falls.

For a short day-trip this is prime spot for families or photographers.

Paddle The Nine-Mile Swamp

The best place to launch into the Nine-Mile Swamp is along side of Wickwire Road (off from State Route 12) not far beyond the RR Crossing. There is room here for about half a dozen cars. This is a great paddle for the whole family.From the Wickwire Road launch, you will be paddling upstream as you follow many twists and turns until the swamp becomes too shallow to paddle, approximately 3-4 mile...
