Hike Description:
Pick up the blue-blazed Pine Knob Loop Trail heading into the woods. After crossing the creek on stepping stones, go left at the split to head up along the brook. The trail is steep then levels off a bit near a bunch of large mossy boulders.
Look for a path on the left that leads down to the creek at the base of the waterfall. It's a nice waterfall but rather cluttered with downfall.
Here's a video of the falls.
