This is a fantastic falls! Big, powerful, vertical, scenic. This certainly would be better-known if it were easier to access. There is road access, but the road isn't always in great shape. An SUV or pickup are recommended, though people have made it using regular cars during good periods.
Found off Wolf Lake Rd, there is a parking area near a bend in the road. This is about 20 km after turning on to Wolf Lake Rd. Not only is the road tough, but the falls is demanding to reach. This falls is only for fit adults. Access to the base of the falls is via a ladder and a steep section for which most people use a rope.
I haven't visited this waterfall yet, and don't have exact instructions how to visit. Anyone chosing to visit must use extreme caution. It is visited occasionally although someone did die here in 2022. If you have visited and can help to improve this page, please contact me.
The site is coded yellow because of the rough road and difficult hike and access.
