 Located
just north of Darrington, this small creek
begins in a couple of small lakes known as
Prairie Mountain Lakes. The creek sort of
meanders along for about a 1/4 of a mile before
encountering a 400' tall cliff and plunging in a
series of drops. The part of the waterfall
that can be seen from the road is around 150'
tall, but the entire waterfall may be taller
than that. It is possible to get up close
to the falls via a maze of logging roads, but I
haven't solved that maze yet. The lakes
are pretty small so I imagine that late in the
summer this creek is reduced to a trickle. |
| DIRECTIONS - From Darrington, drive north on Hwy 530 for about 2 miles and turn right onto Sauk-Prairie Road. Follow this for 7 miles to a T in the road and turn left. Follow this for about 3 miles until you see the falls off to your right. It is possible to get up close to the falls, but I haven't done it yet. | |
