Goat Island was really beautiful! We parked at parking lot 3 which is free on Tues, Wed and Thurs, its on the south end of the island but just a mile walk to the north end to see the falls. We walked around the island and the rapids on the east side of the island are just amazing to watch. Bridal Veil Falls is stunning especially with the rainbow showing up at the viewing area.
