It cannot be seen from the road. From the small park and dirt lot on the north side of the creek along Covington Avenue, across from the post office, take the short path down under the bridge to the falls. Go Waterfalling says you can walk up to the edge of the falls and that an old stairway leads down into the gorge. Return the same way.
