There are spots where you’ll be able to park on the western (or dam) side of the road. Cross the road and find the walkway along the bridge. See one of nature’s most beautiful creations from the best vantage point as the water slides over the colorful bedrock. You’ll love watching the cascading water flow down the rock slope. You can also see Gorges State Park from here. The northern end of the park borders U.S. 64.
