Go if

Fall weekday picnics near Boonville are the sweet spot: maples peaking around the gorge, no summer insects, decent trout fishing in the streams, and a 45-minute loop trail most adults can handle.

Skip if

Anyone expecting to sleep here will be disappointed, there are no tent sites, no RV hookups, and reviews confirm no overnight camping exists despite the single 'campsite' listing. Scattered trail trash and cliff-edge sections also frustrate those expecting groomed paths.
