It is actually a spring or underground river that opens up about halfway up the bluff to cascade its water to the ground. Because it is spring fed, it is always flowing but it is much heavier about two hours after a heavy rain.

It is located at the end of Industrial Drive. It is on private property but the owner doesn't seem to mind visitors. There is a parking lot near the Falls. Please be considerate of the area.
