 | | Wayne Premo | This is one of those memorable waterfalls which materializes suddenly, without an audible announcement, from an insignificant-looking creek. You walk gradually downhill, first through an old field studded with wildflowers, then into the second-growth hardwood forest. When you reach a stairway, you're looking at a dramatic hundred-foot wall of water cascading over a vertical limestone shelf. The stairway descends alongside the stone canyon wall, where water has sculpted little hollows. It's a 20-minute walk each way. Unlike most waterfalls, this one is best visited at midday. The ravine is so steep, it's too dark at other times. (Note: the falls can also be reached from Deerton via Peter White Road, a two-track, if it's not muddy. See Deerton.)
The falls, though out of the way, is well signed. From M-94 in Sundell, go north on Dorsey Rd. In about 2 miles, turn right to the access road. The parking lot is in half a mile. Handicap accessible: no.
