Details
Nicknamed the Fantasy Island waterfalls for the prominent opening scene of the falls for the hit television show, this stunning 80-foot tiered waterfall is easy to view close to the roadside lookout. It’s best to view the falls in the morning when the sun adds to the beauty of the falls, and rainbows are common from the mist.The falls can sometimes appear much taller, as determined by the amount of rainfall farther up the stream. Please do not hike to the bottom of the falls (also advised against by the county and posted signs) as this is a very slippery and dangerous path. This is a simple and quick stop with a great photograph opportunity.
