    I like that area - here's a crappy photo that shows how high the water gets (March2009):

    Chase River Falls above Colliery Dams - high water

    An old map to the falls:

    A photo of the bridge within the park, near the underpass (you can see the underpass in the background on the right):

    The underpass:

    Inside the tunnel, a few years ago.

    here is another "secret" fall within the same park... it is a little harder to get to and requires some mud trekking if its been raining...

    here are some shots I got of the falls. Its really not to hard to get to if you park at the parking lot across from the military school...

    of course!

    It is right next to the cement "waterfall" by the lower reservoir (the ones actually posted on the map).... You'd want to park down by 6th street... hm... its pretty of hidden... as in if you didn't walk into the bushes you might not find it... but hopefully that helps...

    if all else fails I'll have to draw up a map/and or show up there and point it out! haha.
