Before you go

  • I have visited, but it looked like PRIVATE PROPERTY in 2003.
  • however, research in 2017 suggested that the public may now be welcome.
  • if the public is in fact now welcomed, this waterfall may be promising.
  • access is likely going to be possible via Paris Hill Road about 0.5-1.0 mile from North Buc
