About Walter-Newton Natural Area
The Walter-Newton Natural area is tucked on the tail of a dirt road outside downtown Plymouth. I couldn’t wait to explore it, especially when I heard it features a waterfall, Rainbow Falls, only 0.6 miles down the Walter trail.

The terrain at Walter-Newton is mostly flat and easy hiking. There are a lot of other trails that feed off the main loop, however, I stuck to the Ruth Walter Trail (0.6 miles) and took Newton back around after I saw the falls. It took me about twelve minutes to reach Rainbow Falls, at my usual leisurely pace. The Newton trail on the other side of the loop is a little steeper and just a little longer (0.9 miles).

The falls looked beautiful even crusted in ice and snow. There are a couple benches where I stood to take this photo, so it would be a great place to sit and eat lunch in warmer seasons. To get to the top of the falls, I scrambled up the left side, but there is another more gradual trail that leads to the top from Newton. From Walter-Newton Natural Area webpage
