The park, along with several log structures on the premises, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. Constructed in 1935 in the heart of old-growth forest, this wooded park is known for its rainbow-crowned waterfall, which gives the park its name. A garden displaying 40 varieties of fuchsia is a favorite with visitors. |
