Profile Falls Details

This beautiful fanning waterfall in Bristol is a great place to spend the day swimming, picnicking, or fishing. Depending on how strong the current is, the falls can either be gushing in one flow or trickling down in multiple streams as it falls over the rocky ledge. There is a small grassy area nearby with picnic benches and charcoal grills, although you can also bring your own lunch if you prefer to eat within sight of the waterfall. The park also has numerous hiking trails, so you can explore the beautiful wooded forest before or after your swim.
