Take the Glen Jean/Thurmond Exit on US 19. Turn left and follow for 0.5 miles to a right on Glen Jean Ln. Take an immediate left onto McKell Ave., followed by another immediate left onto Thurmond Rd. (CR 25). Follow for about 4 miles and you will find Dunloup Falls just on the side of the road. There is a pull out and trash can at the spot. GPS is approximate. You can't miss it. It will be on your right as you venture into Thurmond. You'll find several other places along the creek for some nice shots as well

Dunloup Creek is nice. Here's a waterfall you can get up close and personal with. It's about a 12 to 15 ft. drop and it can get pretty rambunctious from time to time. It's a favorite of photogs and locals and you're liable to meet people here, especially in the warm times.

The creek above this falls is nice as well and there are several other small photogenic falls just above this one. Just go back up the creek a bit and you'll see them.  I was recently informed that this smaller fall is named "Little Brother".  Not sure who named it but I think Randall Sanger may have had a hand in it.  Anyway, it's pretty nice and worth a look.

This is in a residential area and private property (someone's back deck) at the beginning of the road in.
