The falls are a long cascade totaling about 140 feet (43 m). The falls are made up of several small drops, none over 20 feet high, and can be just a trickle when the river is really low or likely quite large when the river is high.[1]

The location of this waterfall is often marked on older maps as being just downstream of the mouth of Smith Creek. The true location is just below the outlet of Lake Dorathy, at a bend in the river. The falls are located within a narrow gorge.
