From the parking, which ends at the facility, you will see the dam first. There is a small path to the left of the fence to which you can view the falls that would be to the left if you were to be looking up at the dam. At that same point on the other side you can look up a channel that comes down the left side of the road and dam. To view that channel from the top, just walk back up the road a bit to the small bridge that you crossed over, where the gate is located. It is possible that this stream is called Cold Stream according to topographical maps. Also while you are on the bridge look further way upstream and you can see Port Leyden Falls from here.
