It's about 45mins -1hour drive north of Accra.Its Such a serene and peaceful hidden gem.The short hike through the forest to get to the waterfall is half the fun, and the cool, fresh natural pool at the end makes it totally worth it. It's really a great place to relax and enjoy nature.You can also enjoy ziplinning activity at a fee
