To reach waterfall views along this short trail, you'll need to drive into the town of Sandstone. From there, follow Highway 123 to Pine Avenue South. Take Pine Avenue South a little over a mile to the trailhead. There are no amenities at this trailhead.

From the parking lot, following the trail directly down to the river. Big Spring Falls are where the Kettle River drops about 5 feet over a broad sandstone ledge. At low water, there is a beach at the end of this trail and wide sandstone ledges you can walk out on for a closer look at the falls. At very high water in the Spring, neither the beach nor the fall are likely to be visible. Be extremely careful when going near the Kettle River at high water.
