Directions

Take CA-70 and turn right onto Cherokee Road, ~6.7 miles northeast of the intersection with CA-149 (north of Oroville). Follow Cherokee Rd for ~5.8 miles to the trailhead parking lot on the right (northwest), shortly after climbing the hill west of Oregon City. From the trailhead parallel the Cherokee Rd to the southwest until you come to a small opening in the trees between two hollows (where the Cherokee Rd begins to head down toward the Schirmer Rd to the south). Hop the fence here and head a little ways to the southwest until you get a view of the waterfall to the southeast (~1.5 miles from the parking lot). From this viewpoint you can also see Schirmer Falls. From here you could continue ~0.5 miles to Coon Falls to the southwest.
