To start the half-kilometre trek, you'll find the entrance next to the parking lot close to the visitor's centre.

It will take you past an old-growth forest, wildflowers and right to the cascade that tumbles down 12 metres.

Unlike many of the other waterfalls in the area, you aren't limited to a viewing platform.

Instead, you can walk right up the base of the falls to enjoy an up-close look.
