Aptly named Devil’s Kitchen is where Enfield Creek passes over these 20 foot falls before the Lucifer Falls 115 foot rock face cascade. We are occasionally appalled by families and adventure seekers climbing over these falls, wading in the water downstream and other insanities happening next to a waterfall so dangerous it is named after the Prince of Darkness and this very location “his” kitchen.
I am not one to talk, though. One winter on this very spot when the Gorge Trail was closed for winter, black ice brought me down almost into the water. All for a winter scene (photograph) of this marvel. Thankfully, I am wiser for the experience.

What a lovely waterfall. I can see the steps being treacherous in the winter. Sorry to hear that you fell, but at least you didn’t end up in the water! I guess it’s aptly named.

All my own fault, it is a dangerous place wintertime and the winter/spring transition, Cannot say enough of how lovely it is from May through October.
