This is very close to home for me. It has easy access. You can also shoot from the bridge on Lake Street as well.

I'll have to try shooting from the bridge. Can you get above the falls at all?

I have never tried to. It looks too dangerous for me, but I am sure you can.

Hey I found this photo I took from the brigde a while back. It shows a little bit of the area above the falls. I am certain there is a safe way down there, I am just not sure where however.

Did someone try to dam up the creek just before the crest of the falls or is that a natural formation?
