About this campground

The Palo Colorado Interpretive Site is the most visited area of the entire Forest. Because of this, we recommend that you visit this site on a weekday or during the spring or fall months when there are fewer visitors. The site includes an information center, an Eastern National satellite store, picnic shelters, and a trail that leads to the La Mina Waterfall.  Hours from  9:30 a.m to 5:00 p.m.
