Popular Whitewater Rafting Route, Bottom of the Moose River
There are two viewpoints for this waterfall. The first is the bottom view, which can be see in its entirety from the parking lot behind the Burrows Paper Company. The top portion can be seen right from the walk bridge that spans over the river. The pictures shown are from both points.
This parking area is also used to access three other waterfalls: T-Bone Falls, Double Drop Falls and Sliding Rock Falls
From the parking area, walk towards the footbridge. At some point in time this road was open for traffic to pass through. As you come upon the bridge you will see to your right the water coming down under the bridge to your left. This one is Lyonsdale Falls. Continue across the bridge, if you look straight ahead and to the left of the road you will see T-bone Falls in the distance. It is approximately .1 miles from parking to T-Bone Falls, and also the trail beginning for the next two waterfalls. At about .1 mile you will see a trail sign off to your right. The trail is easy to follow. There were a few muddy spots but nothing you can not get around. From the trail sign to the bottom of the next waterfall called Double Drop is about .2 miles. Continue along the trail an additional .2 miles, which brings you to Sliding Rock Falls. Total hike for this area is approximately .8 miles.
