Swallow Falls State Park, Oakland

I can't decide if the tall Muddy Creek Falls is more enjoyable than the wide Swallow Falls but both are so relaxing to spend time listening to. Walking the trails along the river banks is very relaxing. I like to just lay on the huge boulders and listen to the water cascading down. A great place to lose the built-up stress!

nice falls, short, easy trails suitable for young children or older people. only downside is that this park is really crowded. hard to take pics of the falls without people in your shots. overall, a good visit to some nice waterfalls.

I loved these falls. You can walk around the trails and who knows what you will discover. On one of my trips we discovered a hidden small water falls. I loved it. It was the perfect place to sit and rest and put your feet in the water. No one knew it was there so we didn't have any interuptions. It was wonderful. My first experience to the falls was this past winter and it was so beautiful. I can not wait until next winter so I can go and revisit them again. My children love it there. I hope we can make the trip down there one last time before summer is out.
