Directions: From Hwy. US 2 in Bessemer take Powderhorn Rd North. When the road ends at the stop sign make a left hand turn on Black River Rd. Follow Black River Road until you see a sign for the Gorge Falls, turn left. Follow this road for about 3 miles until you come to a wooden bridge. Park before the bridge, then cross it and follow the creek on your left upstream (there isn't much of a path).

Notes: This falls is also know as Maple Creek Falls....hmmm, maybe because it's on Maple Creek. The falls are in a very steep canyon and in order to get a good picture I had to go down to the bottom, yeah, I went down all right, ON my bottom~free ride~Yee-Haw!
