There's a centrury old Gokak Mill over the just close by the ralls, built in 1887 in British raj, which is functional to this date. Check out the pictures below.

The Bridge is reserved for Mill employees olny, but normal visitors out there don't care for the notice and take a trip on the bridge on their own risk.

There's also a small temple of Lord Shiva on the banks of the falls.

There is an old electricity generation station which used to generate electricity during 1880s (The first hydro-electric power plant in INDIA). A ropeway connects the power station to the cliff top.
