The trail enters the woods and drops steeply towards a large deep hole that holds a deep pool that locals swim in. Be careful because the roots down to the edge can be slippery (especially in winter) and it's about a 15 foot drop to the pool below. Kids have ropes on the trees along the edge they use to swing out over the pool. Lower Moss Glen Falls is a small waterfall that flows into this deep pool. The pool is tidal and flows into the Kennebecasis River to the right.
Follow the top of the hill up along the stream and you will soon drop down to the stream just below Upper Moss Glen Falls. This 30 foot tall falls drops into the valley over a rock wall on the side of the valley. It is difficult to get a good view of the falls without crossing the stream. There is another short trail from the road that comes out to the top of the falls.
