A remarkably tall waterfall that can be a bit difficult to see. There is an observation point on the west side allows a good view, though summer foliage can be an obstruction. The crest can be seen from the bridge on Rock Chapel Road. Worth the time to stop for a look.

Hiking

This route takes you to a waterfall, but just know that the waterfall can be pretty obscured from tree growth at the lookout point. This hike isn't overly technical but has a steep climb for a small part so be ready for that.
