From the Sandwich Mountain/Drake's Brook parking lot, head left and quickly right around the gate. Follow the Drakes Brook XC Ski Trail for 0.4 mile. Shortly after the Drakes Brook hiking trail diverges right, turn right onto the Fletchers Cascade Trail. The trail climbs gently along Bowlder Brook into the Sandwich Range Wilderness. After crossing the brook, the trail heads up a few rock steps and culminates at the chutes and ledges of Fletchers Cascade.
It is not advisable to venture across or above the cascade, due to poor footing on slippery, steep rocks.
