Hike Description:

Pick up Charon's Garden Trail and hike into the wilderness.  The trail will start to descend and at 0.6 miles, there is a signed intersection with Post Oak Falls Trail.  Turn right and go a few hundred feet to the end at the base of the waterfall.  It's a seasonal waterfall and water levels were low when we visited so not much more than a wet rock.
