Description

Impressive waterfall on a river left tributary. Eddy out at the mouth and walk up the creek a short distance. Coming down the river, after the second footbridge, look for two houses on the right bank, then look for the creek confluence on the left. You'll probably hear the falls. The river current is fairly swift here.
