An interesting falls, that is a little off the beaten path, but not difficult to find. The trailhead is found where Chamberlain Conc Rd 3 bends 90 degrees to the north. Park on the side of the road.

The trail takes about 10 mins; at one point, one may feel that it is heading off in the wrong direction, but it will eventually lead to the falls. Hikers will pass the Marter Slide on the way in (see its own page), although this may be dry during summer.

At Fourth Falls, the river makes an abrupt right turn through a polished rock outcrop. The view from downstream is OK, but the view from on top of the rock outcrop is much better (stay back from the edge if you choose to take the high view). On your way up, look for the bedrock. What is this mass of smoothed igneous rock full of ancient stones? A conglomerate? Breccia? Puddingstone?

This site was coded as yellow because it is somewhat remote. It is no more difficult to reach than most other falls that require a short hike. Visitors must be aware that they may be the only person in the area for the whole day. That's what I thought, until I ran into a local resident that subsequently took me to nearby Eighty Foot Falls.
