Nice secluded waterfall.

Upon seeing this waterfall, it is very apparent that it is not natural. I wanted to mention this first as it may disappoint some people (and even disappointed me to an extent), but San Francisco is not exactly known for having waterfalls, anyway. Despite being artificial, Huntington Falls is still quite pretty and fits well with the serene lake setting. The foliage surrounding the fall is what makes it shine, the variety of large plants and blooming flowers making it look like it was taken straight out of a forest. Families and tourists will certainly like it most, as it is very picturesque. If crossing the waterfall via the stepping stones by the bottom isn't enough, you can also ascend the waterfall using the stairs and look down on it. I would be careful, though, as the steps can be rather steep and uneven. If you want to spend more time here, there are a *few* benches at the foot of the waterfall. Overall, while it is a "fake" waterfall, it still offers most of the beaty that a real one would have. Why not visit it? You probably don't get to see a waterfall every day. 4/5.

Do not miss the walk there!! Purely wonderful!!
