Very cool place. Trail is very steep to get down to the falls. If you go to just the overlook its not bad but to get down to the water it gets steep

This is NOT on private property. The parking is off Salt Creek road but not adequate for a lot of vehicles. The trail leading to the falls is well blazed and the down trees were trimmed. YOU really need to be ready to get to the bottom of the falls. The trail ends at a boulder then you choose left or right. Left takes you to the bottom while right is to the top. Left is very steep and requires strong balance and good knees. There are some guide ropes which someone was generous enough to leave behind. But you won't be taking your dog or toddlers to the left.

The trail is not for the inexperienced or those with dogs. Did find some glass in the water
