Singley's Falls is the final and largest waterfall on Overflow Creek, located about half a mile from the Three Forks confluence with Big Creek and Holcomb Creek. This picturesque 25-foot waterfall is larger than it looks. It tumbles into a spectacular deep pool, which makes for one of the region's finest swimming holes. 

Singley's Falls named after Alan Singley, a pioneer in extreme whitewater kayaking who famously became the first man to paddle the falls in 1976 — solo, no less. According to boater Robin Sayler, Alan's first exploratory solo ride down Overflow Creek involved eight or nine portages; he returned with rattling tales of a tremendous whitewater run. The fables didn't gain Alan any partners, so he soloed Overflow Creek a second time and reduced the number of portages to five or six. 

Another boater, Robert Harrison, finally joined Alan on his third trip. A Class V rapid below Three Forks demolished Robert's kayak; his accounts of the "Terror That Was Overflow" convinced everyone that Alan Singley was "a menace to society in general, and to paddlers in particular." It's easy to understand how this waterfall got its name and why Overflow Creek has a special place in kayaking lore.

The hike to Singley's Falls follows a series of unmarked trails from Highway 28. The distance is about 3.2 miles with 1,000 feet of elevation change. Although the trails are unmarked, they are easy to follow and are fairly mild. The biggest navigational challenge is knowing which turn to take at several unmarked junctions. The final part of the trail to Singley's Falls is a spur from the trail to Three Forks. This spur makes a steeper descent down into the Overflow Creek gorge. The main trail ends at the top of Singley's Falls, but a scramble path to the left skirts a small bluff and leads to the base.
