Wilson Morningstar operated a flour mill called Mountain Mills from 1883 to 1933. The site features a working grist mill built in 1872, a turbine shed, a saw mill, a blacksmith and carpentry shop, and the home of the Morningstar family. In its ultimate development, the site was powered by three turbines. One turbine ran the grist mill, another ran the saw mill, and the third ran a generator which powered a private electrical lighting system on the property. The turbine which powered the grist mill also ran an apple cider mill and a lathe.
Upper DeCew Falls is a ribbon plunge waterfall where Beaverdams Creek plunges over the escarpment in a 20 m drop to the gorge below and on to Lower DeCew Falls which is a smaller 8 m steep classical cascade waterfall in a more remote but nearby setting.
