Why the Boat View Matters
Seeing a waterfall from a hiking trail and seeing one from the lake are completely different experiences. From the water, you get the larger picture — the waterfall, shoreline and surrounding mountains together.
Make It Part of a Lake Day
Instead of treating the waterfalls as separate destinations, incorporate them into a longer day on Lake Glenville.
