From Beach Lot #2 at the end of the main park road, follow the signs out of the lot and down the trail beside the cabin road, past a park gate, and turn right at the first intersection onto the Falls Trail. Continue down the Glen Leigh side to Huron Falls. Hikers starting at Lake Rose Trailhead can reach Glen Leigh by the Highland Trail. The park suggests a 3.2-mile loop of the Highland Trail, the Glen Leigh side and the Ganoga Glen side to see most of the waterfalls.
