About This Waterfall

This waterfall occurs on private land, but the land owner permits access for a fee. The stream drops about 900 feet over one-third of a mile or so down a series of at least 9 distinct steps with individual drops said to land in the vicinity of 50, 150, 80, 100, 200, 40, and 100 feet. The remainder of the height is made up in cascades between each drop, and potentially in another drop or two at the top of the formation. It's possible these height estimates may be somewhat generous. The stream producing the falls is tiny and will in all likelihood dry out during the summer.
