Hike Description:
Pick up the Trout Pond Trail from the parking lot that immediately leads to a fork. Go right and then right again at the next fork. The trail heads steeply down to creek level near the base of the waterfall. You can scramble up the side for a good view.
With the water level up, I had to wade the creek to get to the other side and scramble up for another view.
There are some cool cliffs on the river left side at the top of the waterfall.
Here's a video of the falls.
