A short distance upstream from an active logging road in the Bear Creek Drainage lies this nice waterfall.  The falls begins with a 40' plunge into a nice bowl.  As it flows out of the bowl, it drops another 15' into a pretty pool of water.  There are several small drops upstream as well that could be added onto the height, but they are pretty difficult to view thanks to a tremendously high number of trees that have fallen over the creek.  While this isn't a huge waterfall, it's very pretty and it's relatively easy to access compared to many of the others in the area.

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Middle Blue Lake Falls.  At the fork, turn left over the bridge instead of heading up to the Blue Lake Fork of Bear Creek.  After the bridge the road will make a sort of s-turn.  Head into the woods once the road straightens out again.  It's about 1/8 of a mile upstream to the falls.  Stay away from the creek to avoid brush until right at the end.
