This is another one of those waterfalls that would be amazing if the views were better.  The small stream drops about 50' into the Green River.  A trail used to lead above the falls and to views from the base but it has been closed.  The only view now is from the bridge over the river which is about 150' high.  Just downstream is a taller, seasonal falls that is a nice little bonus.   Hopefully the trail will be opened up again in the future so this falls can be visited up close and personal.

DIRECTIONS - From I-405 in Renton, turn south onto Highway 169 and follow it for 22 miles to the town of Black Diamond.  Turn left onto Lawson St which becomes SE Green River Gorge Rd.   Follow the road for a few miles to the one lane bridge over the Green River Gorge.   Parking is non-existent around here so you'll probably have to walk a little ways to the bridge.
