I feel your pain.
I have a similar situation not far from home. A seasonal waterfall, well seasonal is not quite the word. Mine flows only after very heavy rain and can be several years between flows. I have known of its existence for about three years and have only seen water over it in the last couple of weeks. I will post a photo below. The location is difficult, obstructed by thorn bushes and to a certain point quite dangerous, with steep muddy slopes, large slippery moss covered rocks and smaller loose rocks. It is just a struggle to get into any position, let alone the ideal one. Then the light, well it is take what you can get, I am afraid. I have had two excursions there. One with little flow, more of an exploratory trip just to find the place. The second with a good flow but bad weather, drizzling rain and almost no light at all. At least with the low light I was able to get about 1/2 second exposure but I was unable to get into a position where I could even see the bottom of the falls.
Next trip after heavy rain, I will have better footwear and clothing, an ND filter and perhaps a machete to clear some of the introduced blackberry bushes.
