This is the original photo that Colleen sent me.  What I saw when I went there is below.

This falls is near Hendricks, W.V. I named this falls Colleen Falls because of the nice lady that introduced me to it and gave me the directions. I don't know if this has a real name and directions are a bit dubious. You might have to work a little to get there, but it is not too far from the road.

Take US 219 into Parsons and turn onto Central Ave. Take an immediate left onto 1st St. Go about one block and follow street to right turn on Billings Ave. (219/7) At Memorial Drive, bear left on Billings Ave. Follow around the cemetery where the road changes into Brooklyn Heights Rd. (219/7). Follow Brooklyn Heights Rd. for approximately 4 miles. You'll come to a pull off on your right that leads to a campsite.  Park at the campsite.  The creek is straight ahead, but instead, go up the hill to your right and walk along the ridge for a minute or two.  Much easier and better view from here.

Here's an added bonus for you.  On the drive in, this is roadside.  Hard to miss if flowing.  Kind of pretty and hard to shoot, but worth a look.
