Drive time is about 2 minutes from May Creek. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 10 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded.

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.
