The total height of McNeilly West Falls is 6 metres (20 feet),
a measurement which includes both the upper and lower sections.
Its crest width on the upper section is 3 metres (10 feet) but
widens out to 8.5 metres (28 feet) on the lower section.
The upper section looks like a Classic Falls which is the most
photogenic section even though its height is only 1.8 metres
(6 feet). It experiences a strong flow during seasonal storms
and after the winter snow melt.
History
The water flowing over McNeilly West Falls originates from farmers'
fields on top of the escarpment above this falls.
This waterfall was "discovered" by Joe Hollick in
2006.
