April 24 Baskins Creek Falls

Maidenhair Fern

I've visited Baskins Creek Falls from both directions on the Baskins Creek Falls Trail. Today, we rode a bus up Baskins Creek Road and onto Park Lane. Here there was ample parking for 2 cars. The bus had to back down the road. The trail follows Baskins Creek on river left. Again we stopped often to identify everything we saw. Margie Hunter led the group I was in. And again the groups overlapped. We took our time getting to the falls. 


There was a manway going up near the falls. I followed the route to see where it led. The main trail continued on, possibly to the cemetery in the vicinity. There was a faint trail leading over to the top of the falls from where I took the photo below.
