DIRECTIONS - Drive east along Highway 20 through the town of Newhalem. A
few miles east of town, stay left towards the small town of Diablo when the
highway heads right over Gorge Lake. The road goes over Stetattle Creek
right away. Park at the pullout and head along the trail on the left side
of the road. Bucket Creek Falls is around 2 miles along
the trail on the first large creek. Scramble upstream a hundred feet or so to a
clear view. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Camp Deyo Falls, Midway Falls, Stettatle Creek Falls |

The
Stettatle Creek Trail begins near the tiny company town of Diablo and
travels roughly three miles up the Stettatle Creek Valley. Along the
way, it passes three small waterfalls. Bucket
Creek Falls drops over this gorgeous 2-stepped waterfall just upstream from the Stetattle Creek
Trail. The falls drop about 30' and then 10' over back-to-back fan shaped
drops. The rocks around the falls are covered with moss and absolutely
beautiful. While not overly large, this is one of the prettier
waterfalls in the entire Ross Lake area.
