To access the falls/creek: drive past the North Fork put-in a few miles, on 215, until you pass through a very small community, there will be a small trout farm on your left- turn onto the forest road on the right(It is currently gated off), just before the bridge:the creek will cross 215 here. The falls are about 10min, by car, up the road. after the 2nd or so bridge there will be a trail off to the left, park on the right and you can hike to the falls from here. For the upper portions of the creek, continue driving/hiking up the dirt road. The creek is roadside the majority of the way. There is a tributary, about 300yards up from the gate, which continues along HWY 215, which is worth looking at: very tight, technical, steep slides and big drops.
