This very nice falls are located in the town of Newhalem along Highway 20.  A short trail leads over a suspension bridge and then along the trail to the falls which are difficult to see because of the extremely deep gorge they run through.  Currently, only the bottom two tiers of the falls can be seen.  There used to be lights on the falls at night, but they are currently out of commision.  This is a great little falls to take the kids to.
DIRECTIONS - Take HWY 20 east to the town of Newhalem.  Turn at the second right, just before the highway turns to the left and park in the little lot.  Walk across the suspension bridge and follow the trail to the falls.
