    To be reached by dirtroad

    To go to the falls you have to drive a short dirtroad. The falls are hidden from the highway. The parking lot is not to big so maybe you have to wait for someone to return.

    Beautiful falls and easy to get to for viewing

    The main falls are just off the roadway and easy to hike to. There is a wire chain fence to keep you from getting too close to the edge which is good because the drop is 70 feet or so, There are some smaller falls...More
