About This Waterfall

This small 20-foot plunging waterfall along Ruckel Creek has been made infamous over the last several years thanks to exposure by several professional photographers who have visited the falls following its "discovery" in 2006. Unfortunately with all of this new visitation the area around the falls is becoming visibly trampled.This waterfall is never thought to have bore an official name, so local waterfall hunter Zach Forsyth has proposed naming it for its verdant qualities.
