If you’ve never been to Hemlock Gorge it’s well worth a trip, and this will give you an excuse.  This relatively compact park features two waterfalls, a dramatic gorge, an island in the river and the entire things is spanned by the spectacular Echo Bridge which you can walk over or scream underneath.
