FloraEdit
A partial list of trees and plants found in the park is described in the park's Waterfall Loop Nature Trail Guide. Some are non-native species, brought in by early settlers.
WaterfallsEdit
The park has seven small waterfalls, five of which are named on park maps and identified with signposts:
The streams are rain and spring fed. Even though the streams are perennial, the best time to visit these waterfalls is after recent rains.
