Extremely difficult and dangerous terrain to repel to get down to the bottom of the falls, unless you have the right gear for it, of course. It's blocked off with fencing, due to a 100 foot cliff, and a teen fell approximately 100 ft. in July and had to be rescued (not the first fall, definitely won't be the last I'm sure).
I was told there is another route from downstream to see the falls at the bottom, but I believe it is a private road to get to Fennel creek, otherwise only photos will be from the park side above the falls. The park is fine, a few benches and picnic tables, can bring your dog, but it's fairly small. For the above reasons, I can only give it 3 stars.
Great little park! Bigger than expected waterfall with benches, a picnic table, and a porta potty. There's a house across the street with some emu and alpaca as a bonus. Be careful crossing the street though. Also the edge of the waterfall overlook is nice and steep with a fence.
A wonderful place to hang out and chat. Especially good for little kids. Don’t expect to get close to the waterfall because the trail going down is pretty sketchy. Overall a delightfully relaxing place to sit and think, not but a 10 second walk from the parking lot. Bring a lock pick kit if you want to try your hand at removing some of the vandalized locked. 😂 🔑
