DIRECTIONS - Drive east of Granite Falls for a few miles and turn left onto Green Mountain Road. Go right at the first fork, left at the second, and right again at the third. After about 4 miles on the road, you should see the falls on the left where the road makes a turn to the right.

This tiny waterfall is not actually on Cranberry Creek but it is in the same general area. The stream plunges about 25' over a gorgeous mossy cliff wall at the head of a narrow little mini-canyon. The falls can be seen from the road, but a short, yet fairly difficult, trip upstream is necessary for a close up view. The creek immediately downstream from the falls is pretty well choked with logs. This creek probably only has water during the wet season and I suspect it dries out by July in most years. If you happen to be in the area when the creek is running, it's definitely worth pulling off and taking a look.
