Facebook GroupThis waterfall is smaller and not as picturesuqe as the main Beamer Falls. Tucked in the middle of the forest, it is however in a more natural setting than its upstream neighbour. It is about 5 to 6 m in height and close to the same size in width, depending on stream flow in Forty Mile Creek.
The gorge is quite deep here, with some of the rock walls no doubt having been cut by the upper falls. While the trail to the falls is forested, the falls iteself is open to the sky.
I've only visited the base of this waterfall one time. It was so long ago that I can't remember much about the route, or the duration. Access was via a trail through Beamer Conservation Area that reached river level. I recall that it was a tough hike back upstream to the falls. Can you help? Is it fairly easy, and does hiking take more than 10 mins?
