Description

When flows are right, a pleasant diversion is to carry up this side creek to run a steep and grungy falls.

The land formerly owned by Buzzi-Unicem has been purchased by the state to be added to Matthiesen State Park.

However, this area is not yet open to the public, so you are still in violation of trespass laws if you set out across these lands. Thus, we cannot recommend hiking up to this drop. Do so at your own risk.
