There is a 'Cable' trail that you can take to get to the bottom and explore. Looking to the right of the falls in the above photo you can see the pool and continuation of the river. In this part of the park there are some cascading waterfalls culminating into this nice drop off. Fortunately none of them were moving quickly. With the cloudy, hazy day the deer were hard to spot. On the top side of that cliff is another road and an overlook you can walk to.
During the summer this area will be full of kids cooling off in the calm water created by a shallow dam downstream.
