Trailhead/Parking Lot

The parking lot is not well marked but is a bulldozed area that can fit a few cars. It is located at the top of the hill and there is a clear unmarked path behind the mound left from the bulldozer.

Path

The path is incredibly short. It’s maybe 100 ft to the top of the waterfall. Once you get to the top of the waterfall, you can follow the path off to the left to go down a steep incline to get to the bottom of the waterfall.
