Hike Description:

From the parking area, head down into the open area and go left to pick up Cabin Creek Trail, which is blazed yellow. You'll cross a horse trail right away and come to a fork in about a quarter-mile. It's a loop so you can either way, but its quicker to go left. The trail follows a tributary down towards Cabin Creek then heads right to meet up with the creek. The waterfall is a short ways upstream.
