This tiny, low flow falls still has the typical "Escarpment" type plunge form. After falling over the escparpment, the creek enters a storm drainage structure located at the south end of a city park off Greenhill Ave and vanishes below the city. Sadly, As one might expect to find in a little gully located at the end of a dead-end road, the gorge is full of trash.

Provided that you can angle your picture to exclude the nearby rubbish, this falls is probably a decent photo during spring melt. It is likely near-dry for the rest of the year though, and is not worth a visit unless you are a hard-core waterfall junky!

While I believe the falls are on public property, please obey any posted private property signs.
