Directions

From CA-20 turn north onto Washington Road (~13.8 miles west of I-80) and follow it for ~5.9 miles through the town of Washington. Then, just before the road crosses over the South Yuba River it turns into Maybert Road. Follow the Maybert Road for ~5.4 miles (can be rough in some places, 4x4 recommended) to near the remains of Jolly Boys Mine off the south side of the road. Park here (last place to easily turn around) and walk the road to its end (~0.4 miles). From here there should be a view of the falls to the east, over the river. Although I haven't tried it, it may be possible to get a closer view of the falls by following the trail that exists just north of this spot for ~0.6 miles (past Fall Creek Falls and over Fall Creek) and then making your way uphill towards Trap Creek.
