Blueberry Falls at low volumePark Creek runs through a narrow canyon that contains at least five small waterfalls.  The main section of the falls consists of a plunge of about 20' followed almost immediately by the 30-35' drop in my picture.  Above these two there are two 5-10' drops and another small drop downstream from the main section.   Getting the view I did requires a difficult and steep scramble down the side of the canyon.  Getting an over-the-top view of the falls is not real difficult but also not real rewarding.  I named the falls for the massive amounts of delicious wild blueberries around the falls.  Watch out for bees.  I got stung 3 times on the way in.

DIRECTIONS - Drive east on HWY 20 and turn left onto Baker Lake Road.  In around 14 miles, you'll cross over Boulder Creek.  Turn left onto FR 1130 just after the creek.  Take the right at the first fork.  In around 3 miles the road goes over Park Creek.  The falls are located maybe 1/4 of a mile downstream from the bridge.  I parked at the corner about 800' before the bridge and headed into the woods from there.
