I went on March 21st, 2016. Sheriffs are towing vehicles?? Really? They aren't going to get a tow truck all the way out there. And even if they do, there's always multiple cars there. You're not going to get towed. Don't let these negative reviews scare you and make you afraid to go see something that will certainly be worth it.
You'll drive through a really beautiful rural farming stretch of land for a few miles, then you'll make a turn and start up a hill. The road will turn to gravel for a few miles, then turn back into paved road for a bit. You're on NF-23. Park where it looks like they don't want you to park. And you're there. Walk down the trail they don't want you to walk down. And step over the trees they don't want you to step over, and see the bridge they don't want you to see. You'll think everyone who stayed home was an idiot and you'll be right.
