Set beside the ruins of the Isadore Mill, this is a rather unremarkable little cascade, comprised of a few small steps and totalling just a couple metres in total fall. But falling water in urban areas is usually pretty rare, so this is worth checking out if you live nearby.
A few crumbling stone walls for the former mill building can be examined beside the creek and just into the woods.
This site is coded yellow because I haven't visited and cannot confirm conditions. The yellow code is also meant as a warning that this site may not be located on public lands. There is no indication that it is part of a conservation area. It is my guess that it is lands that are owned by the municipality. If you have further information, please let me know.
