At Lower Dewey Lake, turn left at the junction sign and follow the trail north. Cross several wooden footbridges, continuing north through spruce and hemlock forest, past the intersection with the trail to Upper Dewey Lake. Expect muddy places along the shore of Icy Lake, because the north end of the lake is filling with glacial silt.
When you see the sign showing 'Upper Reid Falls' going left and 'Service Road' going right, take the right 'Service Road' option. For some reason (most likely due to safety concerns) they want people to go to the smaller less impressive but safer 'fake' Upper Reid Falls, as opposed to the much higher and impressive 'real' Upper Reid Falls.
The trail will take you down to the creek bed which you walk along before finding the somewhat overgrown service trail. Note: the creek bed may or may not have water in it, depending on season and whether water is coming from the pipe further up. After a short time you will find a large metal pipe, which for the last 1/4 mile the trail you walk parallel with, that diverts water into Icy Lake from Reid Falls.
At the falls, use caution around the power company equipment shack, service catwalk and cliff edge. There is no 'safe' way to descend from this point to Lower Reid Falls, however there is a rope down (when I was there last on 7th September 2018) a very muddy and steep slope, with a very slippery, small and treacherous standing spot at the bottom, with only space for one at a time. The rope is too short, and I literally had to dig foot-holes in the mud bank to climb back up to the rope to climb back up.

A great ~7 mile (11km) round trip hike that takes 3-4 hours depending on your fitness and walking speeds.

I think people are misconstruing what this is because of its name. This is a rushing, tumbling creek, but not a waterfall. Lower Reid Falls is the large waterfall, but it's only accessible at the bottom (next to the Gold Rush cemetery). There are no large waterfalls along any of the Dewey Trail system. Upper Reid is a decent hike, but Sturgills Landing in the opposite direction is much more scenic.
