Visiting the Falls

The falls are open to the public and are accessible beginning at a parking area on the side of Charlie Young Road. Visitors may take a moderate-difficulty 300 yard (275m) trail to the falls. It is difficult to see the entire falls from any one location, and the water source occasionally dries up to a trickle.
