Located at the
Deception Falls Picnic Area, Monkey Cage Falls occurs where the Tye River drops over a 16'
tall block shaped waterfall and empties into a deep pool. The falls were named by
kayakers who couldn't help but laugh at the spectators standing at the viewing platform
(the "Monkey Cage") looking like monkeys.
