Anyone ever been to Johnson Falls late in the fall? I am thinking of heading to that area on the 27th of this month. is it still worth going to even if the water levels are low?

I went in October one year. It really depends on the year. It was dry the year I went, there was even a fire ban on, and the falls were still flowing. We thought it was worth it.....no crowds!

I agree. My son and I went to see them in Sept a couple years ago and I don't think it was a particularly rainy summer, especially the latter half. The falls were still very pretty and well worth the trip.
