- Paved, gated road with no shade. Visit Fresno County warns not to cross the bridge when water is rushing; high flow can cover the bridge.
From North Fork, drive Road 225 above Redinger Lake, cross the bridge over the lake and continue a couple of miles past the old Chawanakee School to a gate across the road. Walk around the gate and follow the one-lane paved road, gaining elevation slowly, until the falls comes into view. The road crosses the creek on a bridge at the falls. Return the same way.
