Before you go 
- Outside June–August, arrange access unless visiting Easter Sunday or a specifically announced date.
- Park by the kiosk at the locked gate; the exposed approach is roughly one mile before the falls.
- There are no restrooms, and rocky terrain is not stroller or wheelchair accessible.
- Stay on the trail and do not collect from the fragile habitat.
- Wear safety orange September–May because a private hunt club uses the preserve. Pets are prohibited on guided tours.
- Waterfall volume depends on recent rain, and tours may cancel for heavy weather.
