George W. Childs Park is a hiking area that has an ADA accessible section from the parking lot to the first two viewing platforms for Factory Falls. Visitors who hike past the accessible portion will follow trails and stairs down into the ravine along the creek.

Three beautiful waterfalls and many viewing opportunities make this area a wonderful place to stop for a stroll. The hike is moderate, as there are many stairs to take visitors into and out of the ravine.
