On my way into the base of this falls I could hear another waterfall but couldn't see it. I believe this may have been on the creek that comes out of Hawkins Lake but I couldn't see anything; maybe next time. |
| DIRECTIONS - Get
onto Segelsen Road (FR 18) from either side and drive up to Deer Pass. Just
north-west of the pass, park your car and start walking up FR 1840. In about 1/2 a
mile you will encounter an old P.O.S. car blocking the road. Continue past that and
around the corner where the first views of the falls can be had. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Crescent Falls, Harry Lake Falls, Segelsen Ridge Falls, Shelf Lake Falls |

This very tall
waterfall dumps off of Round Mountain and joins Deer Creek. The falls can be seen
from about a mile away, but up close views are also possible with enough effort. The
falls are probably seasonal, but were running pretty well when I made it to the base in
August so who knows? This falls is right on the way to Shelf Lake Falls too so you
can easily get a two-bagger. It's easy to get the view from the road but getting to
the base requires a lot of pain and sweat.
