where does the water go at the waterfall in goldstream park?

im sure some of you have went to the "hidden" waterfall at goldstream park where you walk on a trail north until you reach a dried riverbed and a tunnel that goes under the highway, you go through the tunnel, and follow the riverbed until you reach a really tall waterfall. (if you havent, GO!) i'd just like to ask, where does the water go? the water just lands in a pool at the bottom of the waterfall and just sort of disappears. does it go underground? i once saw some little minnows in the pool which suggests an underground tunnel or something..
 
It flows down to the inlet ... in the creekbed ... under the rocks
 
That is Little Niagara Falls in Niagara Canyon ( a dog leg steep wall box canyon). It is a comparative little trickle this time of year and still rather impressive with its height. Go see it in the winter when it has been raining a lot as it is much more impressive then. There is parking on the side of the highway and it is only a short trail walk. There are also trail systems up above and people have slipped and fallen to their deaths getting too close where it is slippery.
