I've included this site for historical purposes. One used to be able to view parts of the cascade from the road. But since my first visit c.2002, the site has been modified by water control dam and hydroelectric station. Most of the area is now fenced off, and there isn't much to see.
A short driveway on the south side of the road is associated with the dam, and it should be possible to park here. However, visit will be short. What little is visible is completely fenced off.
This waterfall is coded yellow to warn you that there isn't much to see. What used to be semi-visitable many years ago is no longer.
