Have been a few times and love going everytime to sit and relax. Top of the falls is pretty neat and did a little exploring one time waiting on a crowd to clear out at the base. To get to the base have to climb down a few large steps and immediately turn right. If you go straight it will take you to some cool rock formations and the creek.

Very beautiful hike down to what would be a nice waterfall at the right time! We missed the waterfall but still could imagine how beautiful it would have been with water falling over the edge. You can access the lower part of the falls by walking down a short distance and taking a couple routes to drop down. The rocks under the falls can be slick and unsteady. Watch your step but it is absolutely worth the trip down to sit and relax for a bit!

My husband and I could not find a trail while hiking this, and if there is one we are glad we didnt follow it. We hiked through the woods and followed the river path and hiked up the mountain. It was beautiful. We eventually found the top of the waterfall and after exploring above it we hiked to the bottom and it was just amazing. Best waterfall we have visited thus far. The secluded feeling of this waterfall makes the experience worth it!

This trail was fantastic. GPS takes you short of trailhead so go about 200 feet forward to the entrance on the left. We tied orange ribbons around trees on either side yesterday to help. There are 2 possible treks. Go down the trail and veer to the right over the rocks in the stream and you'll come to a rocked campfire circle. This isn't it! Go down trail and veer left before the stream. It looks like a drop off , but there are rocks to easily climb down to the falls. You'll be glad you did!!

Very short hike from the road to the top of the Falls and a short hike down to the bottom. Caves and cool rock formations all around.

I was told to listen to Google. After driving down a long muddy road And a couple feet before the google destination is what looks like a trail head. Marked with an orange marker. A short walk what looks like a dried up riverbed to the top of the falls. It looks like. A huge sinkhole from there. We followed a little trail around to the left and was able to climb down the side. Super slick clay on rainy days. No real parking. Just on the side of the dirt road. A nice quick adventure for a little falls.

Worth the short hike above or below the falls.

Beautiful Falls just 100 yards from the road. Parking is a little muddy and you will parking and walking out on top of the falls. Walking left on a small worn footpath will lead you on a gradual descent down to the base of the falls. You will have to make the same gradual climb back up so watch small children. In fact I'd walk from the bridge below the hill and follow the creek a half mile up to the falls. It's flat in some places but small climbs are necessary unless you walk in the creek or somehow cross to the left side of the creek. This is doable when water is more shallow. It will rise after the rain.

Short hike, easy to find waterfall. We visited the falls after a lot of rain.

Probably less than a quarter mile walk to see these pretty falls! Worth the drive out! Note that the trailhead and trail is marked by orange ribbon but otherwise no markings.

Trail not marked so it can be difficult to find but was worth the search. Short walk to the fall, just listen for the rushing water. I went after some heavy rain. Beautiful fall in what feels like a very secluded spot. Hike to the bottom for an awesome view.

My favorite waterfall. Park at the bridge and walk up the smaller creek for 1/4 of a mile to the falls. Beautiful hike and amazing waterfall.

Really short walk with a beautiful view. Hard to find though. There's no signs when you arrive just a pull off. Have to trust your Google maps.
