It is a popular tourist attraction, with its spray freezing up in winter.
The site has a parking lot, some explanatory signs, and a trail using a double spiral staircase to reach the bottom of the cliff. Opposite the waterfall, a viewing platform has been built, and this offers views of the falls.[2]
