There’s a special deck built for taking photographs and visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty. There’s a path used by most locals to get down to the waterfall which is dangerous and not advisable.

The staircase leading to the falls is quite steep, so you need to be extra careful and does require plenty of effort when climbing up and down. There's a wired fence around the waterfall, but supervision is needed when bringing children. There is also a seating area, and the hike did not disappoint.

Past Baker’s Falls, the track runs through open patina grassland of which stillness is broken only by the resonant croaking of thousands of frogs in the trees and grasses.
