Well, it may not be Niagara Falls, but McGowan Falls in Durham was a lovely place for a picnic. My friend, J, and I took the kids one afternoon and though it was threatening rain we had a great time. The kids enjoyed swimming, catching frogs, playing at the park and exploring the little island in the middle of the river. Matthew was especially adept at crossing a log bridge to the island. Most of the others just waded across. I have to confess to being a little nervous crossing the bridge over the dam - you could see the rushing water right underneath you! It was a bit dizzying if you stared for too long. We'd like to borrow a GPS and come back sometime because I found this place on Geocaching.com along with some others nearby. I've promised the kids we can come back soon. They would like to check out the trails along the river.
