This little falls is nothing special on its own, but it's in a beautful woodsy, mossy setting. I've only visited once. While it is no more than a metre high, the setting is pretty and can easily be explored. Just one of those nice little falls that is tucked in the woods, yet easy to access.
As far as I know, the waterfall is accessible to the public. The land parcel maps shows a right of way between residential lots on Covered Bridge Trail. A dirt trail passes through this area and makes a sharp bend to the left behind the homes.
When I walked back here, I felt like I was in someone's backyard at times. But the right of way is clearly marked on the map, and my local guide assured me that everyone does it. The homeowners just haven't erected fences along their back property line.
The coordinates of the falls are approximate only. The trail will take you straight to them, regardless of their exact postion. I recall that there were a few short steep sections along the trail. Please heed any signs that are added; this web site does not give you permission to trespass.
