How we calculate this
This is a transparent outlook, not a precise forecast. We take the waterfall's current flow strength (how it ranks against its historical normal for today, from the nearest USGS stream gauge), carry that ranking forward along the gauge's seasonal curve, and nudge it for forecast rain. Confidence is highest for the next day or two and falls further out. Always check official conditions and your own judgment before visiting — high flows can be dangerous.

The Terrain, Seen by LiDAR
Aircraft-mounted lasers measured this ground to within inches. Trees and buildings are digitally stripped away, leaving the bare shape of the land the water has carved.
Through the falls the surface drops roughly 66 feet over a short, steep run of tiers. Elevation at the pin is about 1,094 feet.
The ground changes about 50 feet in the 500 feet above the falls and 17 feet in the 500 feet below. Facing southeast, the falls sit in full sun for most of the day, best photographed early or late.
