Beautiful waterfall a little difficult getting good photos safely . Must walk down road from Little Lily Falls parking lot on busy road or park one vehicle beside guardrail .

The natural falls are beautiful, but there is really no parking except on the roadside and people drive at 50-60mph so you need to be careful
