    you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The scenic beauty of Somerset County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book
a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
