There are several small waterfalls along this pretty creek. I have only visited one, and David Reid visited a different one. There are no signs and no trails leading to the falls.
This stretch of the ceek is on crown land, although this changes further downstream, where the land and creek enter private property. The area within 200 m of Hwy 556 is also private ly owned. Based on my examination the Crown Land Atlas, the falls in question are clearly on crown lands.
The falls that I visited was at the back of a very small clearing visible from the side of the road. I hiked through the clearing and down a slope to the falls. There was only a weak path and although it was steeper near the creek, I had no trouble.
I do believe that there are other waterfalls along the reach. I didn't explore much when I visited due to heavy rain.
This waterfall is coded yellow because it is not improved for visiting. There are no signs, and finding the falls can require some relatively difficult travel through thick brush. The falls are within about 30-40 m of the road, but completely out of sight. They are not out of earshot, however.
