This waterfall can be reached by parking at the Chedoke Rail Trail lot. Instead of walking east towards the rest of the falls, visitors hike west. After about 300 m the trail crosses the creek.
I only visited once, and that was in 2002. I was a lot younger then (!) but was able to scramble safely part way down a slope for a nice photo. It's a bit more a job to get to the very bottom.
