To reach this waterfall, you’ll simply follow a 0.3-mile loop trail, which runs along Hubbard Creek. If you’re going north on Kinlock Road, right before you reach the bridge that spans Hubbard Creek, you’ll simply pull off on the side of the road to park. From there you’ll follow some steps down to the trail.
