This gallery of pictures of Agate Falls was taken on 4-23-04 in an effort to help people recognize the beauty of this beautiful designated State Scenic Site.  The trail from the MDOT-maintained Joseph Oravec roadside park on M-28 is well maintained and leads to a small viewing area high above the Falls and offers on view of these wonderful Falls. A railroad trestle overhands the Falls even further above, as can be noted in the bottom picture, and can be accessed by a separate trail.  A park bench is placed in the middle of the trestle for people to view the Falls.

To gain access to the views below, a person will need to go around the main viewing area and carefully work their way down a long hillside (see bottom picture for an idea of how steep the hillside is) which is not maintained and is very difficult to traverse. It is not recommended to try this climb unless one is in good shape.  But the effort is worthwhile and allows one to feel the power of the Falls
