A trail — Buttermilk Falls Trail — runs within 20 meters of the marked location. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely.

Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
