History
The name of the waterfall is from Albert Wiesendanger, a notable USDA Forest Service worker in the first half of the 20th century. The name is spelled "Wiesendanger" on a commemorating plaque on the trail to the waterfall, with the "i" before the "e". Other sources spell the vowels in reverse, the "e" before the "i".
