The trail from the spot Google tells you to start at is very steep, very slick and very short. After getting to the top you can see the much easier trail options to go down. Next time I'll take the easy way up too. My 9 and 10 year old did it but I dont think any littler kids would make it on the steep side.

This is a fun little hike. The trail isn't fully developed if you go all the way up to the base of the waterfall: there's a bit of scrambling and thorny bushes. Dries up to a trickle in the summer and fall. Easiest access begins at Highland and 700 N.
