There are several spur trails that lead to the falls. Use caution around the top of the falls. You will be on smooth rock and this can be slippery.
Side note: As you are leaving the parking lot and headed back at .2 miles, look for a brown log cabin type home. In their backyard in the distance you can see another waterfall. It appears to be a slide waterfall.
