Most waterfallers that visit the Duncan Escarpment Provincial Park are there to find Pinaccle Rock Falls. A little-known falls is found right at the road corner marked for Duncan.
Even though this is very close to the road, access is tough, with lots of branches, boulders and a short, but steep descent. It is my belief that this falls is located in the road allowance, which here is a narrow wedge between two roads. Please don't wander downstream, as the creek flows behind some houses and certainly enters private lands.
This waterfall is rated as yellow because of steep valley slope, unstable rocks, and thick vegetation. Visiting the base of this waterfalls isn't for everyone, and the reward is modest at best. You can still catch a glimpse from the road, with better views had when the leaves are off the trees.
