Cedar Falls and the "bowl" it is in at end of Cedar Falls Trail
This is composite wide angle image blended from several photos taken sequentially.

During the "dry" parts of the year, there is very little flow over the falls. During wetter times, and after significant rain, the fall can be very spectacular. (See image below)



Needless to say, when there is this much water flowing,  the level in the pool and the stream will be significantly higher, as can be seen by the water marks on the rocks around the pool and down the stream.  During the extreme rains of December, 1982, the flow was such that the Cedar Creek Trail foot bridge was washed away in the flood, as were a number of bridges on roads in the surrounding counties.
