Knyvet Falls

Knyvet Falls is a small waterfall (possibly 5m or less) that is situated further downstream on Pencil Pine Creek from Pencil Pine Falls. It took us about 30 minutes return to do the short stroll taking in this waterfall as well as the closer Pencil Pine Falls.

The view of this falls from the overlook was not very satisfactory (as shown above). Although going off trail is prohibited (because you end up tramping on sensitive and rare vegetation while eroding the topsoil), a better view of the falls required such a scramble. There were faint unofficial trails leading to various other views of the falls, however. But I'll appeal to your sense of wilderness ethics to do the right thing. The photo shown below is an example of what you'll get if you do such a thing.

Directions: This falls shares the same trailhead as Pencil Pine Falls. See that page for directions.
