Hiking Directions
From the parking. There's no easy way to reach the falls, but it's best to follow the old forest road to a point where you can head east towards the falls. You'll have a lot of obstacles to deal with as you make your way towards the falls
I would highly recommend downloading my GPS track and following the southern side of my track, as it's the less dangerous option.
