Directions

From the CA-108/US-395 intersection northwest of Bridgeport, follow CA-108 west for ~6.9 miles before turning left into the Leavitt Meadows Campground. Follow the one-way loop clockwise and park in the day-use parking area at the northern end of the campground loop. Cross over the West Walker River on the footbridge and follow the Secret Lake Trail (stay left at the junction with the Leavitt Meadows Trail). There are several places along this trail where this waterfall is visible. The closest place near this trail to view it is from the ridgeline just east of Secret Lake. You could take the Poore Lake Trail from its junction with the Secret Lake Trail (~0.7 miles) to the western lake shore for a closer view as well. The USGS topo map also shows a road leading to the northern end of Poore Lake, but I'm not sure if this road is gated or not.
