From the parking lot, the two RV Gypsies crossed a stream on the short foot bridge shown above, and followed the marked trail about 3/4 mile to the very small Greenstone Falls. Along the way, there were several places with boards to walk on in order to avoid mud.

It was not much of a waterfall. This area is also home to the Greenstone Falls Cabin, which can be rented from the state park, but the two RV Gypsies did not continue on to Greenstone Falls Cabin.
