Before you go
- This page is built around a broad US 302 corridor reference rather than a confirmed trailhead or exact waterfall pin.
- Use only obvious legal roadside pull-offs if present.
- Expect a small roadside cascade rather than a destination-scale waterfall.
- Traffic and shoulder conditions matter more than hike difficulty here.
- Skip it if the bridge corridor feels unsafe for stopping.
