O Kun de Kun Falls

Aspen and mixed hardwoods grace the gently rolling terrain along the forest trail that leads to O Kun de Kun.  Keep your eyes open for frogs, squirrels, and dragon flies. Because of its distance, this trail is labeled moderately difficult. Watch for slick spots in the trail after a rain. This trail is one of the most popular on the forest and can get quite busy in the summer.
