Pros

• This waterfall is directly adjacent to a small parking lot.
• The waterflow is very high.
• Fun Fact: This is a man-made waterfall. Decades ago the river experienced a "logjam" at this location after the trees that were being harvested from this area got stuck as they were floating down the river. Engineers solved the logjam by using explosives to unjam the logjam. The explosion was so powerful that a vertical drop was created in the river which resulted in this waterfall. Pretty neat, huh?!

Cons

• This is a very popular waterfall, but there are no bathrooms.
• There is only one view of the waterfall.
• It is very dangerous if you try to view the waterfall beyond the marked trail.
