Description
Convenient parking (to look at the 'roller dam' and to hike in to the 5.5' corrugated iron-wall dam) is available just off S.43rd Street. For the best viewing, park in the south end of the lot. (The north end would be very close for the iron-dam, but you'll be on the wrong side of the river for the best and easiest viewing locations.)
The 'Roller-dam' is immediately adjacent (right under the downstream side of the 43rd Street bridge), while the Iron-wall-dam requires crossing the river (via 43rd Street bridge or a footbridge just downriver in the park), then walking along the edge of the woods near the river until a VERY OBVIOUS path into the woods which will take you right to the 'falls'.
