Short steep 1.6km round trip hike, about 7km north of Clearwater. Don't let other reviews of how steep it is scare you away. My family all hiked it in runners just fine, although we did skid a few times. Four of the five of us chose to borrow the poles donated at the top and were glad we did. My 15 year old had runners and no pole and beat us all there.
Once you arrive at the falls you can scramble around on the rocks but again be aware some rolcs and logs are not sturdy and most are slippery to some extent.

The falls is along Clearwater Valley Road in a secluded area only a 5-minute drive from town. We were enthusiastically recommended to go here by one of the attendants at the visitor centre who said it was one of her favourites. It’s a brief 10-15 minute downwards hike with a slight incline, but not to a point where it’s unmanageable for an average person. On a cloudy day after light rain, the trail can be a bit slippery, so proceed with caution when the weather isn't...
