Hike Description:
From the kiosk at the trailhead walk to the power lines and go right on yellow-blazed The Link Trail. Follow this for about 0.6 miles to a footbridge over Cold Brook.
Don't cross, instead follow a path upstream a short ways to the waterfall.
There are some nice cascades downstream as well.
It's very photogenic and I spent some time scrambling around on the rocks to get pictures.
Here's a video of the falls.
