A foggy, but actually warm winter day at 55-65℉. The trail is in good condition considering it is well used, and the heavy rains the night before. It is well marked with yellow "HF" blazes. Directions to the trailhead from the entrance of Oconee State Park is not well marked, but the parking very good. The falls are really quite beautiful, even under foggy conditions and quite worth the short hike.
