What you'll find

Know what this listing is before you drive: probably not a waterfall. The World Waterfall Database has formally disqualified this entry — lidar shows less than a meter of drop on Bird Creek near El Dorado, below their minimum to count as a waterfall at all — and calls the name unofficial. No trip reports, photos, or access descriptions exist anywhere.

We keep the page to set the record straight, not to send you looking for a riffle in Butler County.

Getting there

Heads up: No documented access — and likely nothing to access.

Before you go

The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
