Comments/Notes:
Park on the roadside just after the bridge. There is a small herd path that leads right up to the falls. Farther upstream there are more falls. I had named the next one up, Upper Falls. Google imagery shows 5 sections of falls in this area, and before you would be at the location for High Falls (Middleville).
