From the parking area, locate the yellow gate near the park info board. Walk toward the river and go down the gravel trail.
Cross the brown bridge and make a left onto the Mason-Dixon Trail before the red danger sign.
This trail is marked with blue blazes on the trees. Continue on the trail past the second red danger sign.
Next you will see stone walls on the left. Follow the trail as it goes around the back of these walls.
A silver chain-linked fence should now be on your right. Walk up the slight incline toward the end of the fence that has a blue blaze on it.
Turn right onto the road and walk across the bridge.
Carefully cross the street and look for a tree on the left with a blue blaze.
At this tree, turn left and follow the trail uphill past three large rocks.
Enjoy the view of the waterfalls on the left as the trail goes up a slight incline.
Carefully walk around the fallen trees that are lying along the trail.
Continue to follow the trail up the rocky incline. At the top, look for a tree on your right to find the post.
To return to the parking area, turn around and go back down the incline.
At the bottom, make a right onto the road. Carefully walk alongside the road until you reach the parking area.

Submarines use ballasts (tanks that hold water) to allow it to rise and sink with ease.
A submarine can remain underwater for several months and dive thousands of feet below the surface of the ocean.
They use sonar equipment, putting out a sound wave that hits an object and bounces back, helping them move safely underwater.
