Facebook GroupLocated just 300 m downstream from the taller Scout Falls, this is a more in the form of a gentle staircase. There is no gorge and so it's quite easy to get to the base of the falls.
The Bruce Trail (or a side trail) also leads right to the falls. You will be standing right beside it; your feet standing on the same rock outcrop that the creek tumbles over. Expect that all of the falls on Scout Creek will be dry through much of the year.
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 in a deep gorge, right under the hydro lines. The trail soon transitions from a field to the woods, and then passes right beside this small falls.
Be warned that flows can be very low to nil during much of the year. Probably most 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.
