The first time we saw this falls, Heather Creek was raging through here. The pool at the bottom of the falls looked like a pot filled with boiling water, so I used to refer to it as Witch's Cauldron Falls. The waterfall is pretty when the creek is low, but I really advise checking it out during peak water level to fully appreciate it. While the waterfall is certainly nothing to get horribly excited about, it is a pretty area and the falls can easily be seen from the road.
