As others have said it is a short walk, maybe just over 100 yards. We were there in the winter and my wife was cold so she stayed in the car and we didn't pay. There is a small gift shop there. During the winter you can't go behind the falls as everything is iced over. Some people were trying to go up there even though there was a sign and chain to stop them. The steps were icy and I doubt they could get behind the falls. I took pics from the small bridge where the water flows.
