The narrow gorge is a part of a ditch that runs the west edge of the property then turns NW and dumps into the creek.  Look at the aerial Lake posted.  You can see how the whole area was dugbout, I assume the ditch was to drain and divert water away while that was in progress.  I imagine the resulting erosion exposed bedrock that the waterfall come over.

Anyway, that's what I imagine created it.  It could be partially natural but I highly doubt it due to how much that property has been excavated.

thank you.  Duh, ya, that would make sense that if you're doing something off to the west with all that low land you'd want to drain the water.  Digging out that gorge would encourage a lot of it to flow off to the NE toward the Cedar River
