Directions

From the CA-70/CA-89 intersection north of Graeagle, follow CA-70/CA-89 west ~0.6 miles and turn left onto Mohawk Highway Road. Follow this for ~0.6 miles and turn right onto the Johnsville Road. Follow this for ~3.6 miles and turn left onto the Jamison Mine Road just before crossing Jamison Creek. Follow the Jamison Mine Road for ~1.2 miles to its end at the trailhead parking area. From the trailhead you begin by walking past the remnant buildings of the Jamison Mine and then into the forest southeast of the parking area. After ~0.7 miles the trail intersects with the trail coming from Smith Lake to the left (alternate trailhead at the Gray Eagle Lodge). After a further ~0.2 miles the trail intersects with a short side-trail to the viewpoint of this waterfall. Turn right here and quickly come to the viewpoint. However, the best view of the waterfall isn't from the overlook at the end of the side-trail. The best view is a little ways to the North (right if looking at the waterfall) which involves bushwhacking a little (travel at your own risk because of the steep edge).
