北・南駐車場、ふるさと民芸館トータルで７０台位は止められそうです。軽食所・トイレ・ベンチ・遊歩道が整備されています。一番遠い駐車場からでも10分程で行けます。落差20m幅65mの滝は視野いっぱいに入る滝景色は壮観です。桜の春・濃い緑の夏・紅葉の秋にもう一度来たいと思わせる滝です。

江川の水がかなり高所から落ちて迫力があります。遊歩道を降りてゆくと河原に出られますし滝の回りの河原がかなり広く浅いため目の前で滝を見ることが出来ます。また前面の龍門ふるさと館が展望台ともなっており高齢者や障碍者の方でも河原に降りなくても安全に滝の全景を見ることが出来ます。さらに、ふるさと館の中には神龍が住んでおりボールを7個集めなくても、なんでも願いを聞いてくれます。私は7億当たりますように！7億当たりますように！7億当たりますように！10億でもいいです！若い彼女ができますように！若い彼女ができますように！若い彼女ができますように！と各3回お願いしました。きっと来年の今頃はかわいい彼女とフェラーリに乗って高級ホテルでフランス料理にドンペリ開けているのは間違いありません！
