For a portion, the trail follows a private road in a vacation housing development. Access to Brúarfoss has been a point of contention with homeowners in the past due to disrespectful trail users.

Brúarfoss gets its name from the word 'brú,' which means bridge, owing to its distant past when a natural stone bridge crossed the river.

The falls are only about 3 meters tall. However, Brúarfoss is one of Iceland's most scenic falls.
