Forestville Dam Falls is a compact, photogenic waterfall in a rocky gorge with a deep plunge pool and mossy boulders. Shoot flowing water, textured rock, and seasonal color—autumn foliage and winter ice offer distinct looks. Trailhead parking at 595 Forestville Basin Trail; short but uneven hike to viewpoints (sturdy shoes). Best light is early morning or late afternoon; after-rain water levels and snowmelt boost flow. No formal entry fee; respect posted signs and private property upstream.
