Great place, just hope all the tourists to overwelm the area. It is crowded for obvious reasons. Park along the side of the road. If you are there in the morning, the water is chilly, even for…Full review by jim p

The stairs are in good condition but they do get slick because of the spray from the falls. It’s a relatively gentle descent. If you are active and Dr allows safe exercise for you and your baby, then it would probably be fine. Also, I hope your doggy doesn’t pull you when on a leash. You will need to hold the rails and go slowly if you decide to go. Personally, I would have done it when I was young and pregnant. Just be careful and enjoy!
Q:
Can you camp near this ?
A:
There are several places along the parkway to camp that are close. The closest campground would be Davidson River Campground.
Q:
What would be a good time to go here to meditate alone? At night?
A:
I wouldn't recommend going at night. I think it's closed after a certain time. You could always find a nice stream or river off of a trail near the falls. As for the time of day, I'm not sure
