Facebook GroupThis is a small cascade found about 100 m south of Hwy 7, just west of Hwy 37. Access from the gravel parking lot for the conservation area on the south side of Hwy 7. The river falls over a series of small rock ridges, perhaps 10-15 m wide, but only a total of about 2-3 m high.
At low summer flows, the waterfall can be a disappointment. At high spring flows, I've found that while the whitewater is actually pretty impressive, the rockbed becomes flooded and it's difficult to get pictures with any detail. A significant tornado ripped through this area during 2022. It will be impossible for anyone not to see the devastation to the forest (including at the falls), for years to come.
