Location

This is a ~50' waterfall located along the trail between Green Lake and East Lake in the Hoover Wilderness. It is made up of three main sections, but may have more drops slightly upstream and/or downstream. The middle section, which is just downstream of where the trail crosses the creek, is a pretty, narrow slide before it plunges over the last several drops which make up the lower portion (largest) of this waterfall. The upper section can be viewed by following the eastern side of the creek upstream a little ways.

After a little while the trail climbs and crosses over the creek in the middle of this waterfall.
