Dockery Lake Falls is a 40-foot waterfall found in the upper reaches of Waters Creek, about 0.1 mile downstream from the Dockery Lake dam. This waterfall lies a couple miles upstream from the confluence of Waters Creek and Dicks Creek at the popular Dicks Creek Falls. It would be quite scenic if not for the large wooden debris scattered throughout the falls. Dockery Lake Falls can be accessed by a steep, faint scramble path and bushwhack down from the Dockery Lake Trail.
