There are a number of small waterfalls on Standard Creek. I classified the lower two as Standard Falls and the upper 3-6 drops as Upper Standard Falls. This one drop stood alone about 1/8 of a mile away from the other two. On my trip in I didn't get a view from below so I'll have to do that next time. Below is the view looking over the top of the Middle Falls. If you can get a view from the base I suspect this would be a very nice waterfall. The 30' height is a very rough estimate and the falls are more than likely closer to 50'.

| DIRECTIONS - Follow
the directions to Standard Falls. The Middle Falls
is about 1/8 of a mile upstream. To get a good view you'll have to climb down a very
steep and very deep canyon but it should be possible if you're careful. Alternately,
you could take a left logging road after about .8 miles of walking the main logging road
(I think it's Rd 4640) and follow that uphill to the first sharp switchback and plunge
into the woods there. This should put you a little downstream from the middle falls
but well above the creek. Start heading upstream and downhill until you should see
the falls below you. I've come out this way but haven't gone in yet so I'm not sure
how it will work but it should be easier to start from the top and work your way
downstream from above. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Hard Scrabble Falls, Potter Falls, Standard Falls, Sygitowicz Falls, Tinling Falls, Upper Standard Falls, Van Zandt Falls |
