This is a moderate hike along a brook to a beautiful waterfall. The trail is 2.5 miles in each direction, and it does not have any steep or rocky sections. Near the waterfall is a CCC [Civilian Conservation Corps] shelter, which was built in the 1930's or early 1940's.

There is also a plaque alongside the brook that was placed there at the request of the actress, Bette Davis. Apparently, Bette Davis had fallen in love with a local man, Arthur Farnsworth, and she intentionally got lost  along the brook, where she waited for Arthur to find her.

Bette and Arthur married and moved to Hollywood, where Arthur died mysteriously at the age of 33. Some time after Arthur's death, Bette had the plaque installed in memory of her late husband.

We will look for the plaque that Bette Davis had placed in the spot along the picturesque stream where Farnsworth rescued her. [We know where it is if no one else can find it; but we'll let you look for it first.]

Afterwards we are thinking of going to Woodstock Station in Lincoln for dinner so you may want to have some fresh clothing to change into once we finish.
