I've been here twice; once in summer and once in winter. It's not really open in the winter, but judging by the tracks in the snow when I went, plenty of people stop by anyway. There is street parking available at the historic house by the road, and stairs that lead down to main parking lot and mill area. It's a lovely place for a picnic lunch and a little history. There are a number of waterfalls coming down in the same area, and of course the big mill and water wheel. You can walk down to the river's edge (which I didn't do) or out to the point and look out over the Cumberland River, where there is also a historic cannon. There are lots of picnic spots. And if you time it right, you can get a tour of the mill and watch it work. There are lots of steps! It's not for someone with trouble walking.
