Location

This is a ~75' waterfall that drops directly into the southwest corner of East Lake in the Hoover Wilderness. The scenery surrounding this waterfall is fabulous and is just one of many visually interesting features at East Lake. This waterfall has a dramatic turn at its bottom, which makes it virtually impossible to view its entire length at once. It is best viewed early in the season and will slow to a trickle by late-summer.

Directions

Drive to the Green Creek Trailhead south of Bridgeport by following the Green Creek Road southwest from US-395 for ~8.0 miles. Follow the Green Creek Trail for ~2.3 miles to the junction with the West Lake and East Lake Trails. Stay left here to go to East Lake. After a further ~1.1 miles the trail reaches the outlet to East Lake. Continue following the trail along the eastern end of East Lake for another ~0.5 miles until you can see the waterfall to the southwest.
