Beautiful 109ft waterfall off Ice House rd. The dirt road to the trailhead is bumpy and just before you reach the trailhead there are some gnarly potholes that I wouldn’t recommend going over unless you have a high clearance vehicle. There are spots along the dirt road you can park & just walk the rest of the way to the trailhead. The hike itself is too easy not to do if you aren’t a serious hiker and a lot of fun if you have kiddos. If you go during the summer it will likely be just a trickle. I try to go twice a year before end of May. Last 2 years I went as early as Feb & while the falls were lovely there wasn’t any snow on the ground. I’d gladly wait until May to visit if it meant there was snow up there. Anyway from the trailhead walk until the trees clear out & you’re walking over granite. You’ll hear the falls before you see them. Plan a picnic there & enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Late spring on wknds can be a little crowded so if you want that perfect selfie consider visiting at other times.

I took my 4 year old son on this hike yesterday, and we truly enjoyed it! We didn’t make it all the way to the top, but probably did a good 2 miles round trip. We made it to the bottom of the falls and hung out by the little pools. We followed the directions here on Unilocal,and it took us about 90 minutes to get there from Sac. I recommend this hike for anyone with little kids! It was truly beautiful out there.
