11. Emery Park
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:bobbieswaterfalls (bobbie sweeting)Emery Park has 4 waterfalls. Emery Park Falls, (Go to the second entry to the north end and follow the road to the right. I have included pictures of location landmarks). Emery Park North Falls, (The book states behind pavilion number 6, but that is no longer true. I believe if I remember correctly. Drive in the first entrance to the park, count 3 roads on your left). Emery Park South Falls and Harrigan's Falls. (We were directed to this waterfall by a couple of walkers in the park. They they just stated to watch for the huge tree at the fork and go left. It is a loop around in that section of the park).
