Trail Description: Hike into the woods on the south side of the road, following what trails and simple egress as you can, and down the moderately steep embankment to the stream below. Rockhop your way upstream to the falls site. Smaller falls, but rugged in their charm, when draining its watershed this site, with the white water and gray stones surrounding the small plunge pool at its base are worth the sidetrip to visit.
