This is a very small falls found downstream of Lower Scout Falls and Scout Falls. I didn't find it very photogenic, and wouldn't recommend that you go out of your way to find it. But you may as well take a look if you are already at Lower Scout Falls. It's visible about 75 m away.
Parking is available in the lot at the end of Wiley Rd. Follow the old road allowance. After less than 100 m it reaches a small creek. Turn right and follow the path that follows the creek on its far side. Scout Falls is encounterd first; this one is downstream.
This waterfall may be on grounds owned by Scouts Canada. I am not sure where the boundary lies between their property and the Short Hills Provincial Park.
Be warned that flows can be very low to nil during much of the year. Like all the falls in the Short Hills, you really need to plan your visit during the wettest times of the year, like after a big rain in Spring.
