Third Falls on Dicks Creek
Photo by Bernie Boyer
Waterfall Info: From the bottom, this is the third waterfall on Dicks Creek, well above the two lower roadside waterfalls on Dicks Creek. Even though the full height of the falls is around 80 feet, only the main lower tier - a steep slide of 40 feet - is scenic and worthwhile. The upper part is a steep run of cascades and slides. In addition, there are two small waterfalls on an unnamed tributary of Dicks Creek that flows in from the northwest just below the waterfall. The more impressive one is about 15 feet high, but it looks good only in wet weather.
