Described on the Snowdonia Guide website the waterfall is a popular location:
(visit link)

'The River Ogwen flows out of the western end of Llyn Ogwen and decends rapidly down a series of waterfalls and cataracts known as the Ogwen Falls or Rhaeadr Ogwen.

Panoramic Ogwen Falls or Rhaeadr Ogwen, as it is known in Welsh, is the site where the Ogwen River, emerging from Llyn Ogwen, begins its journey along the rugged Nant Ffrancon valley to the sea. Nant Ffrancon itself is a steep sided glacial valley dropping to Bethesda between the Glyderau and the Carneddau.

On its journey to the sea, the River Ogwen passes through the villages of Bethesda, Tregarth, Tal-y-Bont and Llandygai before arriving at the Menai Strait. The river contains salmon, brown trout and sea trout.'
