Nice falls went after some rain. Trail to bottom not marked. Would have to scramble. We did not go to bottom.

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!

No trail marks. Google Maps gets you close enough, just go a little further and you can pull off on the left. You'll see a trail starting there. Use caution when climbing down, it can be slippery. But it's super short. The waterfall is beautiful!

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!!

This is a fair-sized waterfall just shortly off the road. Getting to the bottom requires a bit of navigating and sure-footedness, but it can be done. The area is a little littered with past campsites, but not too bad.
