Summary: Boulder Creek Falls is the best waterfall in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. It is very impressive, dropping in 3 separate cascades of about 20 ft., 40 ft., and 80 ft. The trail up to the waterfall is a moderate climb, up hill all the way. It involves 3 crossings of Boulder Creek. Later in the year, it may be possible to rock hop across it, but in the spring you will have to wade across. It is a fun experience. All 3 crossings are within a 15 minute walk of each other. For more info, see my website. Trailhead: From Hwy 299 (2 miles west of Oak Bottom), turn left on Carr Powerhouse Rd. Drive 1.7 miles and turn left onto dirt South Shore Drive.
