Upper Fall Creek Falls is a scenic 15-foot waterfall dropping over a small cliff along Fall Creek, just off the Fall Creek Trail. It is the uppermost in a series of four waterfalls located along Fall Creek. If approaching the main waterfall on Fall Creek from the upper parking area on Monument Road, you'll pass right by this waterfall first. A series of additional slides and cascades lies below the primary drop of Upper Fall Creek Falls, but that segment is not visible from the trail.
