Directions:
  1. From I-5 take exit 188A for HWY 58
  2. Near milepost 21 past a bridge park at a widened gravel area. Trail start is towards the highway.
  3. About a quarter mile down the trail turn right onto Goodman Trail #3461A
  4. In about two miles you'll reach a fork in the trail (below). Go left towards the sound of water.
    You'll walk under a low golden moss-covered canopy.

For a small waterfall it is in a picturesque location.
There are no facilities.

If you take the right fork and head down the trail a short distance you'll encounter a hewn log bridge.
Before crossing look to the left at Lower Hardesty Falls (a blocked view of Goodman Creek Falls
is 0.25 miles past the bridge).
