The surrounding land here is privately owned but not posted; you are welcome to scramble down the creek’s banks if you feel the need to dunk yourself in this popular swimming hole. The best place to see the entire falls is from the shallow creek bed, where you can splash in wearing your amphibious shoes or sandals and cool off on a hot summer day.
