NEARBY WATERFALLS | Cathedral Falls is a great waterfall located near Riffe Lake. The small creek drops 250' feet in a sheer plunge with a huge alcove behind the falls. It is very reminescent of some of the falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. The creek had virtually no water going over it when we were there so I want to return in the Spring to see it at full volume. |
