Flat Creek Falls

Flat Creek Falls is a high waterfall which combines a couple of short drops, a sideways slide, a free-fall in the middle, and then more sideways cascades and slides near its bottom. Its namesake stream would probably take the cake for the most ironic name in the region.

Driving Directions

Though it is on National Forest property, the falls requires a difficult bushwhack to reach either the base or a good view of it.
