  If you’re looking for an easy hiking trail not far from Quincy that meanders along Spanish Creek and offers swimming, fishing, picnicking and some nice views, the Cascade Trail is just the ticket.

  The Cascades are a small but impressive set of five waterfalls. During high water flows, a roaring stretch of white water, standing waves, swirling eddies and sheer rock faces and boulders gives the Cascades a wild, dangerous appearance.Kayakers can occasionally run those Class 5 plus rapids, said Outdoor Recreation Leadership instructor and program coordinator Rick Stock. But normally kayakers put in at Oakland Camp, portage around the Cascades, and ride class 3 and 4 rapids downstream.
