We had hiked at the Cat Rocks and Eastern Pinnacles and were in the area, and decided to do another quick hike to Fitzgerald Falls, which is a short walk from the trailhead. We parked at the Lakes Road pullout at by the Appalachian Trail. We took the Appalachian Trail east for a short distance to the falls, and I climbed the steps above the falls. I then turned around and took the same route back.
