Reviewed by Samantha on 1/21/2010 Beautiful hike! The falls were frozen, we went in January, but it was still gorgeous!
Reviewed by JENNIFER on 10/28/2009 THE VIEW WAS BREATHTAKING,THE HIKE ITSELF WAS NOT HARD BUT ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH 
Reviewed by joe on 9/6/2009 Not a long tough trail the way many hikers like, but great scenery for an easy, short, semi steep trail. Keep in mind low water flow times of year will make falls not as stunning and this is not niagra folks, just a beautiful mountain stream with several stages of falls which to me is perfection of natures art. THEN, you can make it a bigger adventure by going higher. There is old train or coach trail above which is unseen from below but if you look hard you can see where the terrain places it. There is no train tracks left or usage anymore except by 2 and 4 leg creatures. There are many old tunnels along this trail too, with many sealed up for some over reaction gov't safety reason. Nice views from there and few if any people.
Reviewed by Freedom Junkie on 3/15/2009 I went to Helen Hunt in the fall, and it is a very, very nice hike. Full review, complete with photographs, can be found at Freedom Junkie. Many other photographed hikes can be found there as well!
Reviewed by Sandra on 8/23/2008 The full hike up to the top falls and around is very nice. It is less than a mile, but fairly steep. There's benches and stopping points along the way. Keep going to the top of the falls to get a great scenic view! There are a lot of other trails in this park but we didn't have time to explore those.
Reviewed by jlv on 8/12/2008 It beaautiful up there and i love to go down into the creek and play in the water. 
Reviewed by kmr on 7/17/2008 I wasn't impressed with it. Not sure if it's because there wasn't much water? The waterfall part was disappointing.
