The place was actually closed for a period of time following landslide in 2007. But, after a few years, the place was once opened for viewing. No one is allowed to take a dip in the cool waters of the falls. But, the sound of gushing waters is suitably soothing to the senses. The Mangitngit Falls now serves as the source of water for the four pools of a resort in the area, the Middle Earth Resort.
