This waterfall lies somewhere within the Petapsco State Park. At least we think it does. The park is poorly labeled. We arrived on Saturday morning eager to check out the many trails available only to find a complete lack of signage all over the vast park. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.
The one map we received looked like a placemat treasure map. And managed to leave off all but 0.5 miles of our journey. None of the trails signs and markers provided any indication of how long the paths were or where they led. Yet there were plaques explaining local birds and the history of the quarries. The park system felt no need to impart any information on the dozens of trails covering hundreds of miles and levels of difficulty. We ended up relying on the kindness of strangers. And going the opposite way of the Boy Scout troop with heavy packs and trekking poles. We were not prepared for such an expedition- wherever it was heading.
In the end, we did find 1 lone posted map on our way out. Except it looked completely different from our experience of the park that we were thoroughly disoriented. And doubted if we'd really seen the falls at all.
