What you'll find
A 12-foot rain-fed falls on Hickory Creek you can see but not touch: the falls sits on private Arbuckle Ranch land, and the only legal view is from a pull-off on Woodford Road.
There's no trail, no facilities, and no legal route to the base or pool — this is a windshield stop, not a hike.
Older listings call it a 30-footer; 12 is the documented figure.

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.
