The waterfall is the turnaround at the end of the Indian River Trail, 4.5 miles one way from Indian River Road. Expect a nine-mile return outing through old-growth forest with muddy stretches and bridge crossings. Stay on established paths and avoid slick rocks at the falls. Salmon season can bring bears along the river.
