This is a very small gentle cascade that may disappoint you when you first visit. But in summer, the falls is intimately hidden among trees and shrubs. Find a log to sit on and you have a wonderfully little private waterfall all to yourself. If anyone else comes by, it will get crowded in a hurry.
Though very small, the falls had decent flow even in late summer when I visited. I've not seen reports of it drying up. This probably means that flow is maintained by a good ground water discharge.
From the parking lot, a trail leads counter-clockwise in a big semi-circular shape. After about 300 m, a short trail leads off to the right to the creek and the falls.
