  • More Information

As well as its main Upper and Lower Falls, DeCew has a lesser known falls that is worth a visit. Faucet Falls is a small plunge falls which unlike other falls in the area is artificial. Having been created for the DeCew Falls Generating Station, small holes have been constructed into the side of the gorge, with the drained water causing a waterfall.

Faucet Falls can be viewed over the crest of Upper DeCew Falls, by Morningstar Mill.

WARNING: The gorge is extremely steep and therefore great caution must be taken. When hiking in the area, be aware that there may be some steep areas. Hike in a pair rather than alone. An accidental fall may result in serious injury or death. Be weary that the area around the falls may be slippery and wet. Also be aware of falling rocks from above.
