Description
Added by Angela Service
Take in this scenic waterfall with turquoise blue water. If you're lucky, you may see kayakers running the falls.
NOTE: Access to this hike is currently closed. A Part of this hike goes through private land. At this time, the landowner is not granting access to hikers.
There are no signs or trail head for the falls, but it's a popular spot for kayakers and photographers, so look for a faint boot path directly from the pulloff on Cook Underwood Road and follow it to the river.
The hike is short, but very steep, down a talus slope of loose rock and moss. There are sudden drop offs near the falls, so it is better to leave children and dogs at home. The climb/scramble back up to the road will definitely get your heart pumping.

Spirit Falls Reviews
Just made the drive out to these falls, as mentioned above in the reviews Private Property/No Trespassing signs have been placed all around the pull off area. Also, loads of dirt & gravel have been dumped to block vehicle access. Personally I respect all private property boundaries so I won't be recommending this location to anyone. Unless someone can shed light on another access point for these falls??

This falls was awesome. The trek down and back up is tiring, but totally worth it! Right when I walked up, I saw some kayakers go down the falls, but unfortunately didn't have my camera out yet. This falls is extremely photogenic and I would recommend to anyone up for a good adventure!

I've been to this spot many times and each one is more amazing than the last. It's truly one of the most surreal waterfalls around. I was saddened though as my last attempt to go was blocked by a police officer who was pounding private property and no trespassing signs into the ground by where you park. Not sure if it's a permanent thing, but hoping it won't be.
