Watson Falls is located at milepost 60.5 on Hwy 138. Turn south on to Road 37. The parking lot is on the right. The top of the falls is visible from the parking lot. The trail to the falls crosses the road and then climbs up along the cascade. The trail is .4 miles long and ascends 200 feet or so. The trail crosses the creek near the top of the cascade, providing a nice view of the falls. The trail continues climbing and ends above the base of the falls.

This is a powerful waterfall and produces a lot of spray. You are likely going to get wet if you get close. #1264897

Love your pov, Denny. You show us the high falls into the ampitheatre and include the bridge, all from the runoff foreground, presenting the perfect sense of place. #8586050

Thank you ever so much Ellen, Marty and Ron! That is a 200'+ old lava flow the falls is flowing over. It must have been really something when this area was active. #8586481
