We learned about this waterfall because there is a geocache placed here: Baker Creek Waterfall Cache GC14WP5, and it is a beautiful location, just off of Kruger Road in the Sherwood/Newberg area of Oregon. We visited the waterfall in the spring, when there was plenty of water, and the moss on the rocky hillside was active with centipedes. The area is quiet and beautiful.
There is a short, very steep path to the waterfall. Part of the path is more of a climb than a path, but there are tree roots to assist and it is fairly easy, but do not attempt this if you feel uncomfortable about it.
