Buttermilk Falls is a wildly popular spot for tourists and local residents, especially during the height of summer. Upon entering the park, newcomers quickly see why. Across a verdant lawn is a foaming and frothy waterfall with a deep pool and dammed swimming area below.

The base of the falls is chock-full of picnickers, swimmers, and shutterbugs, crowds dwindle after you ascend the handsome stonework stairs.
