I hiked through a few 6 inch snow drifts to see it at the heavy flow shown. It can also be a very nice hike in mid-May of a very wet spring - even though the falls will just be a trickle, the ridges can be covered with flowers, and some uncommon Lindley Blazing-star (Mentzelia lindleyi) bloom right next to the falls.

It's close to the end of the Deer Jaw trail. It's easy to see where it is from the trail, but it's rather hard to get an actual view of it.

It's on private property, and isn't worth going out of your way to visit.

route: Follow a ridge in the southeast corner of the recreation area. Just before the ridge curves to the northeast, the you can choose to take a dirt road along the ridgetop and head south once you reach the valley to the east of the ridge, or follow a dirt road traversing the south side of the ridge and then head north after crossing the stream.
