Pekwen Falls takes place on a small stream near Lake Shannon. The upper tier of the falls takes place where the creek splits into three channels and plunges, cascades, and horsetails down a tree lined cliff. Just downstream is a lower tier that we haven't gotten a good view of yet. This drop appears to be much better and we will visit it in the future. There is actually a small, cascading waterfall located upstream from the spur road as well but we judged it too minor to include on the website. |
| DIRECTIONS -
Follow the directions to Lower Kumasun Falls.
Along the way you will cross this creek above Pekwen Falls. Scramble
down the steep slope to a view of the upper tier. The easiest way to
view the lower tier (which looks to be better) is probably to bushwhack
upstream from the main logging road. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Lower Kumasun Falls |
