Hike Description:


An obvious path starts from the north side of the road and leads a couple hundred feet to the base of the waterfall.  The trail goes a little further to the top of the waterfall for sliding.  It's not a big waterfall but a fun waterslide and good with kids.  It is very popular in the summer.
