This is just a small whitewater spillway of limited interest. But it is set next to a dilapidated old wooden mill in the heart of a real-live ghost town, making it a worthwhile visit if you are in the general area. If this mill is still standing, it won't be for long! This is an attractive site.

Note, this is really not much of a waterfall at all. One web site user complained that it shouldn't be in this list. I visited years ago and there was some whitewater. Since the picturesque mill was beside it, it got included. The river may dry down in summer, further reducing the flow. Let me know if you visit.
