After the picnic Julie and I went over to Silver Lake Outlet to check out the falls there. It's about 5 miles north of where we were for the picnic. Definitely not the first bridge like I told you, Matt! We had been there before but hadn't seen the larger falls downstream. The trail goes through a lot of interesting ruins in the woods. The sign says there was a village called Gibsonville there from 1825-1900.
I thought this might have been a trough for cattle to drink water from?
This is the larger falls on Silver Lake outlet. It's about a half mile walk downstream from the main park road. The creek goes through a firly deep gorge to the left of this picture.
This is just upstream from the park road. Abutments of a former bridge are in the background.
