Lake Murray gives Lexington its water, and the waterfalls ask for a drive. Hendricks Falls runs a mile and a half out and back, a moderate walk with 200 feet of climbing. Great Falls of Catawba, up in the northern Midlands, carries a two mile trail along the river. Cedar Falls is the easy one, half a mile with dogs welcome. Three falls in range, each its own day trip out of town.
