Harrisville Falls is located right across the street from the cafe.

Depending on the time of year, you might see a massive cascade that completely obscures the stone blocks, or a smaller curtain of water that splashes and sprays over them.

Waterfall Cafe is closed on Monday and Tuesday. It’s open for dinner Wednesday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m, and for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Saturday and Sunday starting at 8 a.m.
