Description

A steep sliding falls (not really 18'). There is access for this falls from a dirt/sand/gravel road. From the parking/cul-de-sac, it is about a 275 yard (~0.16 mile) walk on a stone ridge to get to the falls. While it is not particularly a difficult walk, neither is it ADA compliant (not handicapped accessible).

Any boaters wanting to do a 'park-and-huck' may shorten the walk back to their vehicle by paddling downriver (after running the falls) about 200 yards, taking out just as the river bends to the left. From the river-right shore, a very short climb upslope gets you back on the trail within a hundred yards of your vehicle. You can then drive back to Twelve-foot Falls County Park where you can carry up to huck 12' Falls and paddle down to 8' Falls before carrying back to your vehicle, catching three of the four falls without bothering with a shuttle!
