Not named on many maps, Witches Glen Waterfall is formed by the creek which flows through Witches Glen dropping off the cliffs.

The creek has a fairly small catchment area, so unless there has been very heavy rain the waterfall is more of a mist or spray than a column of water.

The waterfall drops onto rocks at the base, before the creek flows into Blackheath Creek at the bottom of the valley.
