I took a quick walk/hike up to the old Great Brak power station the other day - it's an easy walk - just over 10 minutes to get there - maybe 15 if you go at a more leisurely pace. It's a great spot for a picnic if you're looking for a short but scenic outing (and remember, you're enjoying it because it's pristine and beautiful - so please, please, please leave it that way for whomever comes next by packing out your rubbish - there aren't any trash bins there).
The trail head starts at the end of Willow Road, near Beatnix Leatherworks - just climb up and over the steps, then stick to your left (don't follow the hiking sign that points to your right - that is also a lovely hike, but it takes you along the other side of the river, so you'll miss the power station).
