Piatt Park is a 119-acre Monroe County park with a gorge, rock shelter and more than a dozen waterfalls. Reach it from State Route 78 via County Road 30 and Township Road 2308. The original 1.3-mile loop trail goes down 114 steps into the gorge to the rock overhangs, past a waterfall and a spring; the blue trail connects to it, and the east rim trail is steeper. Volunteers built walkways, platforms and stairs at the upper and lower falls areas. Which trail branch leads to the lower falls platform is not described, so follow the park's trail signs.
