Steep steps at the start of the paved Millikin Falls Trail climb to an overlook of the falls; the trail ends at the Truss Bridge, an old railway bridge on the Scioto River. The small waterfall lot fills quickly; the main lots at Roberts and Dublin roads connect to the falls by a paved path along the cliff tops and a dirt trail to the bottom pool.
