The waterfall it located on the north side of the lake, hiding out just off the road here. It's not a far walk, but it's recommended you wear closed toe shoes as there are residents who might get stepped on during your visit.

The beautiful waterfall is both tall and plenty loud, though not loud enough to cover the sound of you talking as you approach. The rushing water is soothing to the ears, and during drier months may only show up as a trickle.
