This is a ~40' cascade just above Cooney Lake in the Virginia Lakes Basin south of Bridgeport. It is lined with flowers in the summer and its base makes for a nice hangout spot on Cooney Lake.
Location
Cooney Lake Cascade: 38.04865 N, 119.27843 W
USGS Topo: Dunderberg Peak
Directions
Drive to the day-use and trailhead parking lot at Big Virginia Lake by following the Virginia Lakes Road from US-395 south of Bridgeport west for ~6.1 miles. Follow the trail that leaves the road from just northeast of the parking lot and heads to the northwest. Quickly, it will reach Blue Lake and continue to climb up to Cooney Lake. As it climbs above Cooney Lake it will cross over a creek between the eastern Frog Lake and Cooney Lake. Follow this creek towards Cooney Lake. Where this cascade exists is very steep and not easy to view.
